Like the natural structure of drama, we inherited what comedy is, and what it is for, from our earliest ancestors, where comedic characters were avatars for the audience’s hidden truths; for “uncivilised” behaviours at odds with religious observance.”

Ambiguity, like misdirection, like reversals, is emotional curation, pure and simple, lifting the audience higher, getting us comfortable in our assumptions, before the inevitable drop. And it is inevitable. We know a twist is coming, but we still feel it. Why? Because our emotions have been artfully curated through POV.
