All of those words describe Shakespeare. He could be very humorous, when writing comic scenes like the Porter scene in Macbeth, or the scene in Much Ado About Nothing when Don Pedro et al get Benedick to believe Beatrice loves him. King Lear is incredibly pessimistic, and Shakespeare wrote pessimistic characters like jaques in As You Like It. Romeo and Juliet on the other hand is fatalistic. And Shakespeare could write cynical plays like Troilus and Cressida, and cynical poetry like "My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun."
