How does frogs by aristophanes utilize specific comedy to convey the message?
Answers
Answer:
Satire
Is making well known people or ideas look foolish, politicians and philosophers are often victims of comedy satire, the thoughts of the sophists are openly mocked in Frogs. This is still a common theme in today's comedy.
This is evident use of comedy satire, Hercules is insulting a famous figure called Morsimus. He was a tragedian and the great nephew on Aeschylus.
parody
using parody is to copy scenes and ideas from other places. Often used for poking fun at others.
Aristophanes uses this on Euripides, for example. "my tongue swore not my heart"
the effect is lost partially because many pieces of ancient literature have been lost over time.
Impersonation/Stereotyping
visual humor
Simply, things that appear funny. Amusing costumes such as Dionysus's Hercules costume or Hercules and Xanthias pretending to be hurt by Aeacus's whip.
