Mono Monday - Fool

Charlie Chaplin is more the jester or clown type of fool. He certainly poked fun at all and sundry. 


In ancient times, courts employed fools and by the Middle Ages the jester was a familiar figure. In Renaissance times, aristocratic households in Britain employed licensed fools or jesters...Regarded as pets or mascots, they served not simply to amuse but to criticise their master or mistress and their guests. "Notes on the Fool".
