In class on Wednesday we talked about the clowns that appear
at the end of every scene, and how they are the comic relief in a very dark and
confusing play. I’m fairly certain that Christopher Marlowe wanted the reader
to view the clowns like this:

While I know the clowns are meant to be seen as the above
picture, I can’t help thinking of them like the silly, not all there hyena from
The Lion King.

Perhaps it’s my childhood obsession with Disney movies or it’s
my way of subconsciously connecting anything and everything to Disney that has
brought me here. Anyone else see the clowns in a manner different from the way
they were intended?
