What is a comedy history and tragedy that Shakespeare wrote?
With some plays it is hard to tell what they are but The Merry Wives of Windsor is very clearly a comedy, Titus Andronicus is as clearly a tragedy. As for the histories, Henry V is a history which is not a tragedy (although it might be considered a comedy as it ends with the announcement of a wedding). Richard III on the other hand is a history which is clearly a tragedy (it has almost the same plot as Macbeth.)

How did Shakespeare use the original tragedy of Pyramus in Thisbe for a different purpose in A Midsummer Night's Dream?
The story of Pyramus and Thisbe is a sad one, and in fact is essentially the same as that of Romeo and Juliet, which was written at about the same time as A Midsummer Night's Dream. But in Dream it is used as a vehicle for comedy, for the Quince/Bottom version of the story is so ridiculous that it has Theseus and his wedding guests falling about laughing. A nice twist is for the director to have one of the actors suddenly become competent and actually move the audience with his performance.

Why are Shakespeares history plays strange?
The History plays do not always follow the patterns of comedy and tragedy. People are looking for a play where either everything turns out great for the main character at the end or everything turns to disaster at the end. Either of these two endings closes the story arc and satisfies the audience. Where Shakespeare could, he wrote his histories this way, and it is those which are written this way are his most popular. Henry V is a true comedy, with Henry winning at the end and marrying the girl. Richard III is a true tragedy (it's even called a tragedy in the earliest publications) which ends in the death of the main character and a pile of others. Compare it to the undoubted tragedy Macbeth which has almost the same plot. Richard II and King John are similar, but our feelings toward these two kings is more ambivalent, so we are not really satisfied by their demise, although we appreciate their weaknesses and wrongdoings. Other histories just pick up and tell the story of what was going on. This is how history really works--it's just a sequence of events--but the endings seem a bit flat, because they have no real conclusion. Life is like that, but drama rarely is.
