“ The grotesque body displays what is imperfect in human form. The fool and the carnival are images of things going ‘ wrong ’ in life…
… All this gives birth to laughter, which is thus linked to a deep recognition of human failure and blurs the edges between success and failure that are sharpened by the modern culture of perfection ”
