What Is The Difference Between Tragedy And Comedy?

I have to write a paper.

    I know that in the traditional sense, a tragedy is a play where one or more of the characters die (for example, Othello, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet). A comedy doesn't necessarily have to be funny, it just means that all of the characters live to see the end of the play(Midsummer Night's Dream, Merchant of Venice, Comedy of Errors, All's Well That Ends Well).

    That's the biggest difference that I know of. Hope this helps!

      A tragedy is sad and a comedy is funny. Tragedy's are usually something that happens that causes sadness or grief. A comedy is something that is cognitively thought up and put into actions. Tragedy gives a feeling of sadness and comedy can be hilarious  and funny giving pleasurable feelings.

        Tragedy: Sad ending, usually everyone dies. Example- Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet the Prince of Denmark.

        Comedy: Humor is usually involved; a happy  ending sometimes.

        A tragedy is a sad, hard, and dark category. It usually envolves death and love going the wrong way.

        A comedy is a funny category. It has humor and is made to make people laugh!
