The comical aspects of the play permeate the entire story. The comedy mainly comes into play during the interaction between the Devil and each of the three brothers. When Gros Jean is working for the planter the Devil, as the Planter, deliberately goads Gros jean by calling him by all sorts of names except his own. Soon after the Planter enters he says : "Thats right Gros Chien, Gros Jean, Gros Jean, Sorry". The Planter goes from calling Gros Jean, Joe, to Mac, to Gros Chien, to Charley, back to Mac, then to Horace and then francis, Joe again, Henry and ends with Benton then Mervin near the end of the scene. "You're worth more to me, Benton than fifty men. So you should smoke, after all. And such a pleasant disposition, always smiling. Just Like a skull. But Remember Mervin, I'd like you to try and finish this, you see I have a contract and the harder you work the more I . . . ". The humou

The humour that is created during the final act is mainly of Ti Jean outwitting the devil and not mockery as it is with Gros Jean and Mi Jean. Ti Jeans insistence that the Old Man/Devil show his feet and the way the Devil tries to deflect these demands is probably humorous on stage colour. In the play when the Devil bends over to pick up the sticks it is not hard to imagine a chuckle coming from the audience. The Devil, just before he unmasks himself, is a little humorous in that he answers Ti Jeans question of "which way to the Devil?" with sarcasm he says: "Well, you go through that track, and you'll find a shortcut through the bamboo. It's a wet leaf-rotting path, then you come to the springs of sulphur where the damned souls are cooking. . . ". And Ti Jean answers :"You sure you not lying? ". The most humorous part of the whole play is probably Ti Jeans audacity. How did Ti Jean solve the problem of the goat ? According the Devil he "altered" it .The last thing one would have expected was for Ti Jean to carstrate it. Then Ti jean decides to burn the cane fields and the Devils house. This is humorous becase it is about an ordinary boy who is going up against the might of the Devil and beating him. It is Ti Jeans audacity and wit that make that make the first part of Act three so humorous.

One of the enaging aspects of Ti Jean and His Brothers is the theatrical natre of the play its filled with sound and light combining to create wonderful effects. The coming of the Bolom during the prologue is a good example of how theatrical the play is. As the Bolom enters one might expect to see the lights dim and change colour to reds and dark purples. The sound of the wind and the rain and the shriek of insects would create a very tense atmosphere. When the Bolom cries like a child, and if it is done suddenly and loudly to give the audience a fright, the tension during the prologue could be g
