    Humour theory and practice: A study on a jumping frog
    • 2007

      The analysis utilizes Bergson's and Freud's theories on humor to explore Mark Twain's "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." It reveals how Bergson's ideas about comedy, particularly the mechanization of life, and Freud's insights into unconscious mechanisms, are reflected in Twain's narrative. The paper highlights the interplay between these theoretical frameworks and Twain's storytelling, demonstrating how humor functions within the text.
