The paper aims at exploring the use of the comic elements that is not without purpose. Instead through this incorporation of farce, linguistic humor, witty repartee and exaggeration, the holistic vision of life is obtained which was earlier compartmentalized by the Greeks and Roman playwrights. Comic elements including slapstick humor, the singing of songs, and certain character portrayal are discussed as techniques employed at the hands of the playwrights to reflect over the real historical milieu of their respective times, yet giving a boost to realism as a theory and a practice. This is a qualitative study based upon hermeneutic theory of textual analysis. The paper establishes the similarities in Bernard Shaw＇s and Anton Chekhov＇s employment of comical elements as well as the difference between their essential purposes in generic transgression. Although the two writers have their roots in different countries, their humorous portrayal of various issues is seen to be similar. From the microanalysis of these plays, the same comic strains can be traced out in modern drama at macro level that will enhance the implication of this research paper. This paper therefore concludes that comic and tragic elements are not antagonistic rather complimentary to each other.展开更多

The current Chinese realistic oil painting is the product of local culture. The construction of Chinese oil paintings doesn＇t follow modem art, and it has its own soil and space of survival and development. It becomes the mainstream in the art pattern. In practical construction, it presents the characteristics that technical level develops towards simplification and reinforcement, the function of lyric ideogram of paintings and graphic description becomes weak, the real transformation of three-dimensional space is transferred to reconstruction of two degree and a half space and the pursuit for language form constitution relation of paintings.
