IV. Themes
V. The techniques of comic
accessories used to make people laugh are simple: a purse, bag, a stick.
1. The situation comedy: The "turn the bag" is often used in the commedia dell'arte, whose servant Scapin (Scappino Italian) is derived. Scapin revenge for Geronte use the ruse that is to imitate the voice of imaginary enemies to fight and deceive with impunity Geronte, maintained, blind and helpless, in a bag.
It gives both the role of the devoted servant and that of criminal. Geronte also takes his role with docility in this masquerade he is the victim
2. The comic gestures: The stage directions describe not only games but also the scenes changes Scapin voice takes turns a Gascon accent, a Swiss accent (the transcript gives an idea of the comic effect to be drawn from this cartoon), and the voice of "several people together." Scapin mime aloud the enemies of Gerontius, or pretends to address them, and whisper, addressing the old man. And the comic is the humiliation of Gerontius (it is not only beaten but insulted l. 3 "Sti Gironte Devil") under the knowing eye of the beholder. The staging of the illusionist Scapin thus offers us a stage in the theater, especially as Geronte observed at the end of the stage as the audience, the armory of the valet.
3. The comedy of repetition: Repetition is often Scapin speaking to his master, the same expressions are called: ("Beware," an act scene 1 and Act I. Scene I. 25; "Hide yourself well, act l. stage 3 and stage 30).
A dramatic turn of events puts an end to the deceit of Scapin which otherwise, would probably still continued. The virtuosity of an actor, so brilliant it is, has its limits: Molière knows he must stay within the framework of probability.
4. The deceiver deceived Scapin first appears as a character Almighty. His triumph is illusory, however, short-term: the deceiver is deceived in Act I. The reversal causes a new comic effect (it also easily imagine the contrast between the comic agility Scapin and the silhouette of the tired old fogy). Gerontius was the correction that he deserved (he lied to Leander on behalf of Scapin) but propriety demanded that the master, everything is ridiculous he finds his dignity master and punishes the servant for his insolence.
