The generated response does a good job of providing a useful thesis statement that establishes the core argument of bridging early modern and 20th-century laughter theories in Shakespeare's plays. Throughout your analysis, you will need to connect laughter to the critique of gender, marriage, and courtship norms. Fortunately, it seems like you have done ample research to accomplish this.

In addition to this, the generated response correctly identifies Bergson and Freud as crucial 20th-century figures. However, while it mentions Freud and Bergson, it doesn't provide enough detail about their specific concepts. Moving forward, you could explain Freud's "jokes and their relation to the unconscious" and Bergson's "mechanical inelasticity."

To tie these concepts to your thesis, you will need to provide specific examples from Shakespeare's plays. You will want to analyze specific scenes where laughter is used to subvert gender norms (e.g., Katherine's defiance, Viola's cross-dressing).
