A comedy ends happily, generally with one or more weddings; a tragedy is when the main character and often a bunch of others end up lying on the floor dead.

examples:

comedy: All's Well That Ends Well, As You Like It, Merchant of Venice

tragedy: Rome and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello and King Lear.
