A personal definition of comedy is a funny experience or situation portrayed in order to make people laugh. Comedy on the dictionaries has several meanings, one of them being humorous entertainment. However, in literature the meaning might vary; it is true that comedies can have comical elements, but the literary convention is different. A Shakespearean comedy is a theatrical representation that deals with humorosly confusing, ridiculous situations in which the main characters end in marriage. It is of importance to mention that a comedy starts with averse circumstances and end in happiness.
