The Wisdom of Fools in Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson.
This paper discusses Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson. It is the tragic tale of a mother's love for her son, the misguided actions of that love, and the ultimate disastrous results. Tragedy: A serious drama with a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion. With that definition as criteria, "Pudd'nhead Wilson" can only be considered part tragedy, because it's conclusion is not entirely sorrowful, and the drama of the tale, as serious as it's events may be, is also heavily imbued with the trademark wit, humor and sarcasm of it's author, Mark Twain.
