What is the difference between tragedy and comedy and is it only different in theater?

This answer is actually rather complicated, because it varies based upon the time period the plays were written. Death, while common in tragedies, is not necessarily required. Classically, tragedies typically involved characters with power “falling from grace.” They were almost always upper class. A classic example would be Antigone in which Creon, who is king, abuses his power and is punished. This play has deaths, but Creon is not the one who dies. Rather, he is punished with the deaths of his son and wife. In more modern times, tragedies can focus on a loss of family unity, money, or power in general. The characters can be poor or rich - Death of a Salesman is probably the most used example here.Comedy, classically, ranged from bawdy humor to more intelligent humor with wit or sarcasm. Shakespeare used both. In both Greek and Shakespearean comedies, the middle or lower classes were featured. Most often, the comedies focused on home life, romance, or just the foibles of man. This hold pretty true today.I say the differences between the two are complex because we have such things as tragicomedys and dark comedy where things are funny but perhaps we shouldn’t be laughing or we are looking at the absurdity of life. Sometimes death can be funny - even as taboo as that sounds.As for the last part - no. It’s not just in theatre.

What is the difference between tragedy and comedy?

A tragedy is all about sad, sorrowful events whereas a comedy is all about happiness.Comedy aims to amuse the readers or audience. But tragedies, in most cases, teach some important lessons of life, by arousing a sense of pity and terror.Tragedies are more serious and thoughtfully constructed than comedies.Comedies are generally closer representations of everyday life.In typical comedy plays, the characters will reunite in the end, i.e., a happy ending.But in a typical Greek or Shakespearean tragedy the fall of the protagonist is very likely in the end.Thank you. Hope this helps.
