"Comedy affirms the logic of our existence, confirms us in the belief that all is for the best. It induces satisfaction by exciting desires that it alone can gratify: time and experience have proved the the most effective way of doing this is to create two people obviously meant for each other, and to bring them together after the pleasurable tension of confusions and delays… It proves to be one of the most soothing and salutary gratifications fiction has to offer, the vicarious pleasure of watching the triumph of true love, even when it is insipid and especially when it is not."
