How does Shakespeare use humor? Or what Are some websites that talk about how he uses humor?
 
In "A Midsummer Night's Dream", he uses funny wordplay. When the men are putting on a play, one of them is supposed to say the lion has devoured his love. Instead, he says the lion has DEFLOWERED her. Meaning the lion has taken her virginity. The rest of the scene contains more humourous wordplay. You should check it out.
