Comedy: A comedy deals with light subject matter that is meant for creating fun and entertainment for the audience. It always has a happy ending. It developed in several forms with the passage of time. Its four major types are: (i) Comedy of Humour (ii) Comedy of Manners (iii) Romantic Comedy (iv) sentimental Comedy (v) Tragi-comedy
The dramatist often relies on language by means of
puns, light satire, humour and wit, etc. to create laughter. The subject matter deals with the life of common people and their actions and reactions to certain
situations in their lives and thus humour is created.
Examples:
Twelfth Night, a Midsummer Night’s Dream
