In a theatrical work, we often see the word comedy of tragedy. Although the whole drama is a tragedy, playwrights sometimes use satire humor to advance stories and convey messages.
Verna Foster pointed out that in the encyclopedia the definition of this term is often not "solid" so it often "slips", even tragic tragedies appear in our early dramatic work Did. She wrote:
Tragedy comedy is a slippery genre. In addition to mixing elements of tragedy and comedy, tragedies are often intertwined (even sometimes confusing) with pastoral, romantic, ironic, serious drama, black comedy and other types. It is not surprising that use of the term "tragic comedy" is ambiguous, as it seems to be reinvented, especially when this type appears in the history of drama and drama. In a sense, tragedy and comedy are related to literature and life itself. However, in dramatic practice, the tragedy can be recognized at least for the first time it appears after tragedies and comedies establish themselves for the first time. While it is possible to identify the play combining tragedy and comedy in various ways during all the play period
In addition, the British encyclopedia provides a detailed analysis of this type of history, including examples of dramas considered a tragedy:
At that time I disliked the strict neoclassicalism, but forbidden mixed type, but especially in the UK tragic comedy became flourishing, the writer almost ignored neoclassical laws. John Fletcher provided a good example of "The Faithful Shepherd" (c.1608). It was an adaptation of Il Priest Fido of Guarini that itself was first published in 1590. Famous examples of William Shakespeare's tragedy are the Venetian merchant (1596 - 97), the winter story (1610 - 11), and the storm (1611 - 12).
Frye's framework has two basic categories: comedy and tragedy. Each category is further divided into two categories: comedy comedy and romance, tragedy of tragedy and satire (or satire). He dismissed Fraser, but he used the season in his prototype. Every season, such as spring comedy, summer romance, autumn tragedy, and winter satire, is consistent with literary genres. The type of comedy is characterized by the birth of the hero, rejuvenation, resurrection, so comedy is consistent with spring. Spring symbolizes winter failure and darkness. Summer is the climax of the seasonal calendar's life and romance is a pair, as Romanticism reaches a culmination with some kind of victory, usually marriage. Fall is the stage of dying of the calendar of the season as well as the type of tragedy, as it is first known as the "fallen" or end of the hero.
