What Is The Difference Between Comedy And Tragedy?

In purely literary terms Comedy is defined as stories that end positively, where the protagonist essentially triumphs over evil and all odds that he encounters in the story and gets rewarded in the end. It's the age old cliched and desired happy ending that the protagonist strives for and gains in the end of the story. Tragedy on the other hand deals with the human condition, it is essentially more rich than comedies as it seems to be reflective and brooding of our fallibility, weaknesses and focuses more on the melancholia that arises from existence. Tragic stories always end in tears and pain, but it is also more introspective and deep. They help us come to terms with the great deal of suffering we see around us, acknowledge it and strive to make it better.

Comedy makes you laugh, and tragedy makes you sad.
