Not only is the length of configurations longer in comedies, they also exchange less people in configurations changes. Histories have a rather short duration of configurations and they often have complete configuration changes, but this is in part balanced by longer speeches. Their configuration density is generally pretty low and diametrically opposed to the number of people dying. Whereas in comedies only Pyramus in Midsummer Night's Dream meets his death, and the death of the French king is reported in Love's Labour's Lost , it is only in tragedies and histories that death can be enountered. The number of speeches indicating death also tells whether death is part of the complication phase like in Titus Andronicus or part of the final solution like in King Lear and Hamlet .
