He also analyzes the different types of characters that appear in these plays, such as the fool, the jester, and the clown, and how they reflect the social and political realities of their time.The book also explores the influence of other forms of theater, such as commedia dell'arte and Shakespearean drama, on the development of the carnival comedy.
