Explanation:

Comedy and tragedy are the two genres of dramatic work. Comedy refers to the genre which is light as compared to the tragedy. Comedy is satirical in tone and the ending is cheerful and happy. In tragedy, the main character experiences many tragic situations and it ends in a sad mood. The comedy focuses on providing comic relief and is romantic. Tragedy at the same time explores the destiny of the protagonist and it leaves a sad and pity ending before the audience.
