This paper examines the comicaliry in Mozart"s Le Nozze di Figaro with focus on the contents in the aspect of social criticism, being based on die carnival theory of laughter, which claims that laughter and comedy express the desire to be free from the limited order of die existing system and the catharsis phenomena of suppression. The denial for the limited order of the existing system is represented in the standpoint of social class, men"s and women’s social positions, and moreover the mental phase of reason and sense. Eroticism, which has been expelled from the wrong system of order and false consciousness、is expressed in positive laughter. Mozart"s satiric and symbolic music is beyond the limit of linguistic text and its boundary, fortifying and degrading the meaning of the words.
