Answer
Comedy of Humours, associated with Ben Jonson, is a comedic approach rooted in the ancient belief that human behaviour and personality were influenced by the balance of four bodily fluids, or humours: blood, phlegm, choler, and melancholy. Jonson's plays often centred on exaggerated representations of these traits for humorous effect, satirizing societal quirks and human follies.
