what is the difference between a comedy or a tragedy
The ToneThe main difference between Shakepearean comedy and Shakespearean tragedy is the tone. The comedy is designed to be funny, while the tragedy will be sad... that is the main difference, and one that you can predict before even reading them. The difference is that a comedy has a light romantic spot to it while usually the tragedies have killing and despair. People laugh in a comedy and people cry in a tragedy.
â¢ The plot of a tragedy is marked with a series of actions that happened to the protagonist causing fear and pity in the audience while a comic plot often creates laughter in the audience. â¢ A protagonist of a tragedy is called a tragic hero while the main character of a comedy is called a comic hero.
A comedy, in contrast to a tragedy, is a genre of drama in literature that is characterized by its happy and vivacious ending. Besides making the audience happy, a comedy rather importantly intends to evoke humour and amusement in the audience by means of extensive laughter.
