Definition of Comedy: A Shakespearean comedy is one that has a happy ending, usually involving marriages between the unmarried characters,and a tone and style that is more light-hearted than Shakespeare's other plays.(wikipedia.org)

Definition of Tragedy:A play,that portrays or depicts calamitous events and has an unhappy but meaningful ending. A disastrous event, especially one involving distressing loss or injury to life: an expedition that ended in tragedy, with all hands lost at sea. A tragic aspect or element. (Answers.com)

I prefer to watch Shakespeare's comedy's, more than tragedy's because I dislike the endings of his tragedy's, I always end up wishing I didn't watch the tragedy. Therefore, I like comedy's more, plus most of them are funny and more enjoyable. Today I watched As you like It, a comedy play, this BBC movie lasted 150 minutes. I enjoyed it, but did not find it funny. Four couples got married at the end! This is typical shakespere comedy.


Today I found out that Shakespeare wrote three genre History, Comedy, and Tragedy.
