Robertson Davies' Fifth Business explores the nature of physical appearance in relation to religious aptitude. Through the characters Liselotte Vitzliputzli, Padre Ignacio Blazon, and the narrator and protagonist, Dunstan Ramsay, Davies shows the correlation between explicitly physically ugly characters and their spiritual and religious enlightenment.

Nichols and May’s skills as storytellers lie in their understanding of human relationships, a mastery that is expressed in the sketch through their delivery of character. The improvisational nature of Nichols and May’s dynamic is apparent in the conversational tone of this sketch.

The dysfunction of this relationship drives the scene by creating conflict, which the characters exploit to the fullest extent. For instance, the mother in the sketch begins the call normally and proceeds to guilt trip her son with hyperbolized ¬¬reactions. May’s delivery emphasizes the nagging, worrisome traits of the character. The exaggeration of her character’s dysfunction is the focus of humor in the skit. However, once the sketch breaks down to reveal the emotional truth of the characters, the growing distance in the relationship between mother and son, a sense of gravitas hits the audience and asks us to consider our the…
