How is a comedy different from a tragedy?

Question:

In what ways do comedies differ from tragedies?

Answer:

A comedy usually has a happy ending.

Explanation:

Comedy stories often explore themes of love, drama, conflicts between the main couple and family tensions, but those conflicts are usually solved at the end of the play. These types of stories are characterized for having happy endings that involve some marriage, a proposal, new birth or events that mark the beginning of something good.

The genre of Tragedy, on the other hand, include dramatic and serious scenes and features tragic heroes who tend to have extraordinary virtues (like super strength, courage, a perfect life) but who also have a big flaw or weakness that eventually lead them to a downfall, like death.
