At which point in a novel is an author most likely to employ comic relief? in the beginning, when introducing the main characters in the end, after the tragic resolution of a crisis when there is great tension in the protagonist's situation when the author wants to comment on a major topical issue
ometimes comic relief characters will appear in fiction that is comic. This generally occurs when the work enters a dramatic moment, but the character continues to be comical regardless. Greek tragedy does not allow any comic relief.[1] Even the Elizabethan critic Sidney following Horace’s Ars Poetic pleaded for the exclusion of comic elements from a tragic drama. But in the Renaissance England Marlowe among the University Wits introduced comic relief through the presentation of crude scenes in Doctor Faustus following the native tradition of Interlude which was usually introduced between two tragic plays. In fact, in the classical tradition the mingling of the tragic and the comic was not allowed.
