Comedy is such a vulnerable thing. With drama, you're not trying to make someone cry. If you do, great, but that's not your goal.

The consolations of the vulgar are bitter in the royal ear. Let physicians and confectioners and servants in the great houses be judged by what they have done, and even by what they have meant to do; the great people themselves are judged by what they are.
