Question

What is an interlude? ....for 2 marks

Answer 1

An interlude is a literary device used by authors/dramatist to provide comic relief to the audience from an overpowering tragic or gloomy mood created by highly tragic scenes. The interlude may be totally in contrast to the tragic mood but in some or the other way still be connected to the main theme of the play. In Shakespeare’s tragedies, one finds such comic interludes frequently such as Grave Diggers’ scene. At times the Clown (court jester) will provide comic relief to the otherwise tragic or serious political plays.
