History of comedy
Comedy began in 1895 with silent films that relied on slapstick and burlesque humor. Slapstick involved exaggerated physical comedy like chases and pratfalls, while burlesque used parodies and sketches. Charlie Chaplin was famous for his slapstick films in the 1910s that featured daring stunts and aerobatics. As silent films lost popularity in the 1930s-1950s, comedy films incorporated dialogue and verbal humor like innuendos and parodies. In the 1960s, comedy became darker with social commentary and spoofs, exemplified by the influential Monty Python. Modern comedy encompasses various formats, from sketch shows like Little Britain to films that use humor around alcohol and youthful hijinks like

Dramas staged between 1660 and 1700 are called ‘Restoration Dramas’. The dramatic literature of the period was dominated by comedies called ‘Comedy of manners’. Actually ‘Restoration Comedy’ is used as a synonym for “Comedy of Manners”. The plot of the comedy, often concerned with scandal, was traditionally less important than its witty dialogues.
The comedy of manners was first developed in the new comedy of the Ancient Greek Playwright Menander. His style, elaborate plots, and stock characters were imitated by the Roman playwrights Plautus and Terence, whose comedies were widely known and copied during the Renaissance.

Queen Elizabeth I ruled England for 45 years in the late 16th century, restoring Protestantism. During this time, hundreds were convicted and executed as witches. King James I, who took the throne in 1603, was fascinated by witchcraft and commissioned a book on the topic. Both monarchs presided over a period where belief in witchcraft and supernatural evil was widespread, and many were put to death under accusations of witchcraft. Shakespeare wrote for the theater during this era, addressing themes that would have resonated with audiences who believed in heaven, hell, and the supernatural.

When Charles II returned from exile, he helped revive theatre by appointing Thomas Killigrew and William Davenant to manage theatre companies.

Notable early actresses included Nell Gwynne and Elizabeth Barry.

Tm 10
The princess was traveling on the road when she came across a group of villagers. She stopped to speak with them and offered the villagers her help with any work they needed. The villagers were surprised by how kind and gracious the princess was despite her illustrious status. The juggler who was performing for the villagers said the princess was behaving as a princess should by bringing pleasure to the people.
Tm5
The princess describes the village as rural because it is located in the countryside rather than a city. The village is different from the princess's world because village life involves manual labor like harvesting, rather than leisure. The princess thought getting a cup of milk would be a great adventure because it was a simple everyday task she had never experienced before in her privileged life. When the princess got the milk, she offered some of her bread to the ducks she encountered.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
