In literature what is the difference between trajedy and comedy?

May 08, 2008 by Will | Posted in Theater & Acting

In literature and plays what is the balance between a comedy and a trajedy?

In a comedy, no one dies. It does not unavoidably have to be funny.
In a tragedy, someone dies.

What are three similarities and differences between comedy and drama in literature?

Feb 04, 2009 by Monica | Posted in Books & Authors

I'm in English HH and I'm having plague finding GOOD similarities/differences between comedy & drama. Any ideas?

1) C-makes you minimize, D-makes you serious
2)C-light hearted, D-deals with serious plots
3)C-insightfull in human behaviours, D-insightful in human circumstances.

Is Hamlet considered to be a tragedy or comedy?

Feb 23, 666 by tren | Posted in Performing Arts

I've noticed that there has been from A to Z some discussion about Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". So, I would like to know whether it is a tragedy or a comedy?

By the way, if you do not know the literary articles for comedy then don't answer this question, lol. Comedy doesn't always necessarily mean "funny or humorous".

Thanks answerers! :] Very much appreciated. Above if I used lack of grammar in this literature related question. I'm too tired to speak proper English, lol.

Widespread rule of thumb (unless dealing with Monty Python) - if there is a big Body Count - chances are, it is NOT a comedy.

I've noticed that there has been degree some discussion about Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". So, I would like to know whether it is a tragedy or a comedy?

By the way, if you do not know the literary span of time for comedy then don't answer this question, lol. Comedy doesn't always necessarily mean "funny or humorous".

Disaster.

If you know Hamlet, you'll realize that almost everyone of note dies by the end. That is the essence of tragedy (the downfall of the protagonist does not have to be in ruin, but death will do.)

Comedies, in technical terms, are about the reestablishment of order after the chaos of the story, which most traditionally means a affiliation at the end.

Shakespeare wrote some plays which are very hard to categorize according to traditional forms, but Hamlet is not one of them.

If you need an unusually hint, the full traditional title is "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark."

If the Bible contains real facts, why do we study it in the Literature class along with the Divine Comedy?

...and not in the Narration class?

Because it is mythology. To non-Christians it has no more validity than any of the other superannuated sagas. History tends more toward actual events and the bible itself is only about a very small population of middle eastern tribes.
