Farce: Difference between revisions

* Pierre Corneille's ''Le Cid'' got the author into trouble with Cardinal Richelieu, who wasn't just a fictional [[Big Bad]]. Apparently mixing tragedy with farce was considered a bad thing in the 1700s, and the argument between the two even got its own cool sounding name, ''La Querelle du Cid''.

* ''[[Cyrano De Bergerac]]'': A similar example to ''La Querelle du Cid'', ''[[Cyrano De Bergerac]]'' is a play which mixes [[Tragedy]] with Farce with great success, and it even presents Cardinal Richelieu... as [[The Ghost]]. It's characterized by [[Comedy of Errors|misunderstandings]], [[Gambit Pileup|deceptions]], and in general very contrived and ridiculous situations ([[Playing Cyrano]], for instance), or the Gascon Cadets stumbling upon [[Ho Yay|Cyrano and Christian when they're in a situation that appears compromising]] and a [[Fetch Quest]]... [[Tragedy|in the middle of the death of the protagonist]].
