Comic relief is a literary device used to introduce light-hearted or funny moments into an otherwise serious or tragic story. Its primary functions include:
Relieving Tension: It gives the audience a "break" from intense emotional or tragic scenes, making the overall experience more bearable.
Contrast: By highlighting a moment of humour, the tragedy that follows or precedes it often feels even more profound and impactful.
Humanisation: It can make characters feel more well-rounded and relatable by showing their ability to find humour even in dark circumstances.
