Fool and folly become heterogeneous because of lack of intelligence or physical abnormalities.people make fun of them in a condescending manner.Therefore,they became an indispensable type of humorous "fool" image in comedy.In Shakespeare's period,there is no obvious boundary between fools and madness.Therefore,madness is also categorized into the scope of this article.In addition to people with iconic features,some spirits and physiques are not "ugly",but images with the meaning and effect of fools are also discussed.This article focuses on the fully image in Shakespeare's drama.There are a large number of fools in Shakespeare's play.This article divided them into three types : first,natural fools and artificial clowns;second,non-professional laughter and "self-liberal complacency";and third,part of the fools.The first category,born fools and man-made clowns,are naturally stupid,funny,and nonsense providing a natural breeding ground for ridiculous,unconsciously revealing the “ugly” character,responsible for earning laughter and alleviating the atmosphere.Its madness and dementia make it unfamiliar in daily life and break the shading of conventional knowledge.Its acts and speeches are forgiven for its defects.Therefore,they are symbolic,and they have been given the right to speak and deprived of their right to speak.Man-made clowns,without the defects of intelligence and form,are professionally trained "professional" clowns.They wear stupid hats,wear bells,coats,and Colorful clothes.They are typical symbolic symbols in the character image.They have a long history in British history.They are a class of professions that existed in reality.Shakespeare's tradition of showing such characters and making them participate in the story is not merely a decorative aspect of jokes.The second category,non-professional laughter,does not refer to the role of mental retardation or silliness,nor is it the job of supporting laughter.There is no clown clothing,but the personality and performance have a clown shape,while producing a clown effect.Non-professional laughter,such as silly servants,fainting,and hillbilly,are ridiculous and ridiculous.On the one hand,as slaves,they also have their own lives.The so-called “self-satisfied complacency” refers to the role of self-desire,disdain for moral principles,and obedience to instinct and nature.Themost typical example is Falstaff.No clown's color coat has the connotation of clowns.One stroke,one voice,one voice and one line all show the comedy form and comedy effect.Its inherent depravity is ridiculed but loved by others.Adventure,idleness,gullibility and resourcefulness are all part of his personality.The third category,part of the fool-Hamlet's complex personality,because such people do not have the above two characteristics,but the status of noble.The king and the fool contain the binary opposition of the fool archetype,but the fools in the form of fools are always opposed to the king's sublime,the latter is not a fool or a complete fool,so call it part of the fool.Some of the fools can be corroborated by the fact that when the prince is in a state of madness,his speech frequently appears as a lower body image,which is in sympathy with the former noble image and reflects duality.The fool replaces the upper and the lower,and in the reversal,it connects the physical spatial factors and the language expression characteristics with the intrinsic values.
