The Fool is much more than an element of comic relief.Yet 
despite his biting (harsh - bitter) commentary, the Fool is a beloved character, his humor 
and insight endearing him to audiences and readers alike.With a tongue as sharp as his wit, he exposes their follies, 
their vanities (arrogance - narcissism), and their insecurities (lack of confidence).The Fool is typically a witty and insightful character who uses wordplay and puns 
to reveal the truth about the other characters and their situations.In Shakespearean plays, the Fool is a 
character who serves as comic relief, but also provides sharp commentary on the action of 
the play.
