Easy: Put in both drama and comic relief.
Start out with a problem: Character can't get what she wants.
Include obstacles that stand in the way everytime that character comes up with an idea to get what she wants. This is your drama. Make us feel what that character is feeling when he keeps getting turned down from his goal.
Comic relief: Tell us something funny that happens afterwards, making us feel like, ok this story isn't so bad--maybe he WILL get what he wants!
Another obstacle--making us believe this story is serious and we can really learn from it.
Another comic relief--lessen the tension with another laugh.
Solve the conflict, giving us a theme to remember when we finish the pages, making us know that this story was both funny but it really taught us something.
Wrap it all up and give us a giggle as you walk out.

Is the play 'Antigone' a satire?
No, the play 'Antigone' isn't a satire. A satire makes fun of someone or something. Nothing is made fun of in this play. Instead, the play is a serious look at the consequences to an individual, a family, and a people of one individual act of breaking the law. There's nothing funny about the subject. In fact, the consequences are fatal for three main characters and miserable for a fourth. Therefore, the play is a tragedy, and not at all a satirical comedy.
