What is the difference between tragedy comedy melodrama and farces?
Rayd
Tragedy has a protagonist (the main character who gains the audience's sympathy) who possesses character flaws that lead to his own undoing-he is himself responsible for the disaster that befalls him.
Comedy is a humorous treatment of an otherwise dramatic, or serious subject-while the plot may have its characters doing silly or absurd things, it also allows moments of serious reflection and may even be said to teach a lesson.
Farce is humor for sheer enjoyment-characters are not usually as three-dimensional as in comedy.
Just as farce is less intellectually deep than comedy, melodrama is less intellectually inclined than a drama, and more designed to stir emotion-characters have less depth, and may be broadly described as good guys and bad guys.
Any story may have one or more elements of any of these.
