humor and fear of death  

Definición

  • It is useful to divide a discussion of humor and the fear of death into three sections—humor where certain death is imminent, humor where there is a high risk of death due to circumstances or occupation, and humor and the everyday fear of death that lurks somewhere at the back of each individual's mind, even when safe and healthy. Humor in the Face of Imminent Death Anthologists are fond of quoting humorous “last words” by someone whose illness is known to be fatal or who is about to be executed.
