...effect depends, and who is the life and soul of the comedy. Next in importance is Chateaufort, the boaster, who is always trying to ruin some one. Pierre Paquier is the stupid servant who acts as messenger between Granger and Genevote. These three characters are the chief comedians, who turn the play from a tragedy to a comedy...
