Comedy of humours
|
A type of English comedy. Based on the medieval medical theory that a person's temperament is determined by the combination of four bodily humors (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile), this comedy aims to create humor by introducing characters who are particularly endowed with each of the four humors that result from this theory. B. Johnson's Ten Men, Ten Colors (1598) is said to be a typical example. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |

イギリスの喜劇の型の一つ。人間の気質が4種類の体液 (血液，粘液，黄胆汁，黒胆汁) の配合によって決るとする中世医学の説に基づき，そこから生じるそれぞれの気質を特に著しく備えた人物を登場させて，おかしみを感じさせようとする喜劇。 B.ジョンソンの『十人十色』 (1598) などがその典型といわれる。
