In literature and plays what is the difference between a comedy and a trajedy?
In a comedy, no one dies. It does not necessarily have to be funny.
In a tragedy, someone dies.
Sometimes , the comedy includes deep messages which make u think about , or sometimes the comedy (And i;m refering at theatre or movie, too ) has an tragycal final ,which might be taken as an advertence . I'm an amateur -actress and that's what I've understand for almost all the comedies i've played until now.
Every actor will tell you that comedy is harder to do than tragedy, but I don't think the best drama is a comedy. Some comedies have no meaning at all ans exist only to make people laugh. There are some that have a meaning, but if there is a death or something like that, now we're talking, literally, of a tragi-comedy. Some of Shakespeare's comedies are not side-splitting funny; they just don't have a body count at the end of the play.
