What is an example of low comedy in Midsummer night Dream?

Answer 1

Low comedy is the Mechanicals performance of Pyrimus and Thisbe, they give the audience "tragical mirth" and slapstick funny while performing a play about a tragic love affair. We really don't pay attention to the fact that this play is a representation of what could have happened to the four lovers in the play because we are too busy laughing at Bottom's performance.

Answer 2

An example of low comedy in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is the character Bottom and his "transformation" into a donkey by Puck. This situation creates physical humor and absurdity through the mismatch between Bottom's knowledge of his surroundings and his transformed appearance.

Answer 3

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy. The only person who does not feel that life is better at the end of the play than at the beginning is Hermia's father Egeus, who did not get his way in planning to marry her to Demetrius. Egeus is hardly badly off at the end; he loses nothing except his pride through Hermia's marriage. The couples Hermia and Lysander, Helena and Demetrius, Theseus and Hippolyta and Titania and Oberon are all happily married at the end, and the mechanicals have performed their play and had it praised by the Duke. There's no tragedy there.
