Great license was allowed for satire.
ridicule and caricature. Comedies had
q great influence in shaping the ideas
Of the people. For instance, AriStOpl-
aneS. in one of his comedies, THE
Clouds I believe, ridicuIes the philos-
ophy and practices of Socrates. Socra-
ties is represented as teaching a youth,
sI0posec 10 - a lci1iadeS mat it is
proper to lead a life of dishonesty and
debauchery- This play aroused a feel
ing of anger against Socrates, which
did not abate until he was tried and
condemned TO death for teaching doc
trines tending TO corrupt the youth.
The purpose of the comedy was to por-
tray to the people their political and
social conditions.
All the functions once performed by
the old Greek plays have in these days
been usurped by the press, the pulpit
and other agencies. The stage in these
days is nothing more than a means of
amusement.
There is no striking resemblance be-
tween Hamlet and the toy you men
ton; but if there is one incident com
mon to both it is the fact that both are
sometimes employed TO furnish amuSe-
ment. But Hamlet, in addition to its
qualities as a plaything. is a great
poem-the masterpiece of a master
mind. The act taa- it is SOmeLim 5
