Greek plays typically fall into two main categories: tragedies and comedies. While tragedies often end in sorrow and misfortune, comedies generally feature happy endings, resolving conflicts with humor and often culminating in festive celebrations or reconciliations. Notable examples of Greek comedies include works by playwrights like Aristophanes, which often conclude on a positive note, reflecting the triumph of love, community, or social harmony.
