Comedy and Tragedy
Comedy
According to Aristotle (who speculates on the matter in his Poetics),ancient comedy originated with the komos,a curious and improbable spectacle in which a company of festive males apparently sang,danced,and cavorted rollickingly around the image of a large phallus.(If this theory is true,by the way,it gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "stand-up routine.")
Accurate or not,the linking of the origins of comedy to some sort of phallic ritual or festival of mirth seems both plausible and appropriate,since for most of its history--from Aristophanes to Seinfeld--comedy has involved a high-spirited celebration of human sexuality and the triumph of eros.As a rule,tragedies occur on the battlefield or in a palace's great hall; a more likely setting for comedy is the bedroom or bathroom.
On the other hand,it's not true that a film or literary work must involve sexual humor or even be funny in order to qualify as a comedy.A happy ending is all that's required.In fact,since at least as far back as Aristotle,the basic formula for comedy has had more to do with conventions and expectations of plot and character than with a requirement for lewd jokes or cartoonish pratfalls.In essence:A comedy is a story of the rise in fortune of a sympathetic central character.
The comic hero
Of course this definition doesn't mean that the main character in a comedy has to be a spotless hero in the classic sense.It only means that she (or he) must display at least the minimal level of personal charm or worth of character it takes to win the audience's basic approval and support.The rise of a completely worthless person or the triumph of an utter villain is not comical; it's the stuff of gothic fable or dark satire.On the other hand,judging from the qualities displayed by many of literature's most popular comic heroes (e.g.,Falstaff,Huck Finn) audiences have no trouble at all pulling for a likeable rogue or fun-loving scamp.
Aristotle suggests that comic figures are mainly "average to below average" in terms of moral character,perhaps having in mind the wily servant or witty knave who was already a stock character of ancient comedy.He also suggests that only low or ignoble figures can strike us as ridiculous.However,the most ridiculous characters are often those who,although well-born,are merely pompous or self-important instead of truly noble.Similarly,the most sympathetic comic figures are frequently plucky underdogs,young men or women from humble or disadvantaged backgrounds who prove their real worth--in effect their "natural nobility"--through various tests of character over the course of a story or play.
Ordinary People
Traditionally,comedy has to do with the concerns and exploits of ordinary people.The characters of comedy therefore tend to be plain,everyday figures (e.g.,lower or middle-income husbands and wives,students and teachers,children and parents,butchers,bakers,and candlestick-makers ) instead of the kings,queens,heroes,plutocrats,and heads of state who form the dramatis personae of tragedy.Comic plots,accordingly,tend to be about the kind of problems that ordinary people are typically involved with:winning a new boyfriend (or reclaiming an old one),succeeding at a job,passing an exam,getting the money needed to pay for a medical operation,or simply coping with a bad day.Again,the true hallmark of comedy isn't always laughter.More often,it's the simple satisfaction we feel when we witness deserving people succeed.

The person we call William Shakespeare wrote some 37 plays, as well as sonnets and full-length poems; but very little is actually known about him. That there was someone called William Shakespeare is certain, and what we know about his life comes from registrar records, court records, wills, marriage certificates and his tombstone. There are also contemporary anecdotes and criticisms made by his rivals which speak of the famous playwright and suggest that he was indeed a playwright, poet and an actor.
The earliest record we have of his life is of his baptism, which took place on Wednesday 26th April 1564. Traditionally it is supposed that he was, as was common practice, baptised three days after his birth, making his birthday the 23rd of April 1564 – St George’s Day. There is, however, no proof of this at all.
William's father was a John Shakespeare, a local businessman who was involved in tanning and leatherwork. John also dealt in grain and sometimes was described as a glover by trade. John was also a prominent man in Stratford. By 1560, he was one of the fourteen burgesses who made up the town council. William's mother was Mary Arden who married John Shakespeare in 1557. They had eight children, of who William was the third. It is assumed that William grew up with them in Stratford, one hundred miles from London. Very little is known about Shakespeare’s education. We know that the King’s New Grammar School taught boys basic reading and writing. We assume William attended this school since it existed to educate the sons of Stratford but we have no definite proof. There is also no evidence to suggest that William attended university. On 28th November 1582 an eighteen-year-old William married the twenty six- year-old Anne Hathaway. Seven months later, they had their first daughter, Susanna. Anne never left Stratford, living there her entire life.
Baptism records reveal that twins Hamnet and Judith were born in February 1592. Hamnet, the only son died in 1596, just eleven years old. At some point, Shakespeare joined the Burbage Company in London as an actor, and was their principal writer. He wrote for them at the Theatre in Shoreditch, and by 1594 he was a sharer, or shareholder in the company. It was through being a sharer in the profits of the company that William made his money and in 1597 he was able to purchase a large house in Stratford. The company moved to the newly-built Globe Theatre in 1599. It was for this theatre that Shakespeare wrote many of his greatest plays, including, in 1611, The Winter’s Tale. In 1613, the Globe Theatre caught fire during a performance of Henry VIII, one of Shakespeare’s last plays, written with John Fletcher, and William retired to Stratford where he died in 1616, on 23rd April.
