What is Comedy of Humours?


The term ‘humor’ is derived from medieval physiology. According to the medieval belief the four basic fluids of the body – blood, phlegm, choler yellow bile, and melancholy black bile directly affect a person’s physical condition, and these fluids were called humors. When the humors are in a balanced state, the person will remain in a good temper. If any of the humors gets imbalanced, the person also becomes physically and psychologically abnormal. For example, dominance of blood makes human sanguine happy generous; phlegm makes human phlegmatic cowardly, pale, choler makes choleric hot tempered, impatient, vindictive, black bile makes pensive, sentimental, melancholic.
