A comic relief refers to a humorous pause within a serious drama, most especially in a tragedy. This is used to relieve the audience from the serious atmosphere. In other words, it allows them to “breathe” from the intensity of the play. In the dialogue, Capulet asked the servant to hire cooks for the gala wedding reception but the servant joked instead, as mentioned, “You shall have none ill, sir; for I’ll try if they can lick their fingers.” In this line, the servant meant to have little fun but the joke can be considered an observation for what Capulet is doing who would not like being treated the way he is treating Juliet. Despite the seriousness of the play, Shakespeare was still able to add a little humor to hidden meanings.
