Introduction to Comedy

Comedy is a branch of drama characterized in that its main characters are faced with the difficulties of everyday life and why they face difficulties making people laugh or your "public", moved by their own shortcomings to outcomes happy which makes a mockery of human weakness. The comedy stems from the Greek world, but it develops throughout the medieval and the modern age, up to today.
Like other dramatic genres, comedy is determined by the dramatic action of the main character, hence it is not uncommon to find characters with a tragic role in comic plays, as long as they are, to put it in some way supporting characters .
As features, the main character is often commonplace and represent an archetype, is a liar, a charlatan, a braggart, a rogue, love, etc., is also gullible and unconscious and, unlike tragedy, where the main character has a deep ethical sense, in comedy the main character considers his moral as a quality not very important, allowing it to be very vital, but this is rather an obstacle to the character.
So its often dramatic conflict, most of the time, to society, besides himself, so struggle to overcome the obstacles that prevent you from yourself or be the same company.
The comedy is, along with the tragedy, one of the classical forms of Greek drama, and one of the three dramatic genres called realists.
