Laughter is presented as a uniquely human phenomenon, with Henri Bergson examining its causes and social functions. He analyzes comedic elements like comic characters, wordplay, and incongruity, highlighting the tension between rigid social norms and human flexibility. The essay combines wit and analysis, exploring laughter's psychological and physiological aspects, including its role in releasing pent-up energy and fostering social bonds. Through anecdotal examples, Bergson uncovers the deeper significance of laughter in human life.
