Clown'ship गांवढळ वर्तन n. २ मस्कऱ्याचे वर्तन n. N. B.-A clown is in the first instance a rustic, a country bumpkin, simple and ignorant. By a slight addition of meaning, he becomes a person comic on account of this simplicity and ignorance, and hence, as in Elizabethan drama, a regular comic character, but always with the association of rusticity or low birth. Nowadays the word is almost confined to the comic man in a circus. A buffoon is a professional jester, a man who is comic with set intention as opposed to the clown who is funny without knowing it. The Shakes. pearian Fools would be called buffoons although they are not so named by Shakespeare himself. The word buffoon is not found among the Dramatis Personæ of any Shakespearian play, and a Fool and a Clown do not appear specifically in the same play ever. In modern plays the two do not appear as regular characters under these names, but we often find characters which have the peculiarities of each. The office of both in the old drama was either to afford comic relief in tragedy, or, in comedy, to provide a certain kind of amusement of a different quality to that provided by the chief actors. The clown is often the "butt” of the more intelligent persons in the play, but the buffoon more often makes the latter persons ridiculous. The word "buffoon” is now sometimes used as a term of reproach, meaning a loud vulgar fellow, who is always trying to be funny, even at the wrong time. Cloy (kloi) (Orig. to stop up, hence, to sate.
