The foolishness of the jester, whether in his odd appearance or his levity, implies that he is not passing judgment from on high. One of the most effective techniques the jester uses to point out his leaders's folly. The jester is also seen as being on the side of the little people fighting oppression by the powerful. By fooling the jester often wins favor among the people. He is no rebel or revolutionary. He takes the side of the victim in order to curb the excesses of the system.
