Shakespeare's use of humor in A Midsummer Night's Dream reveals that the playwright employs witty wordplay and comedic misunderstandings to highlight the absurdity of romantic love. This technique serves multiple narrative functions: it entertains the audience, relieves dramatic tension, and offers insightful commentary on human relationships through playful exaggeration. According to literary scholar Marjorie Garber, "Shakespeare's comedies use humor not merely for entertainment but as a sophisticated tool for exploring social dynamics and the human condition".
