I do not believe that this Shakespearian play is either a pure tragedy or a pure comedy. I find that this play is simply a serious tale containing mixed amounts of comedy and tragedy. It does not contain true sadness and pity or pure laughter and enjoyment. It is a tragicomedy because it has dark overtones, laughable dialogue, and a happy ending can be seen over the horizon. even though it has its comedic aspects we can not simply forget that each character has their own tragedies.
