"The Winter's Tale" is considered a comedy primarily because it features elements typical of the genre, including mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and a happy resolution. The play transitions from a dark, tragic beginning marked by jealousy and loss to a joyful conclusion that includes reconciliation and redemption. Additionally, it incorporates comedic characters and subplots, particularly with the antics of the shepherd and his son, which further lighten the tone. Ultimately, the restoration of family and love, alongside a miraculous reunion, solidifies its classification as a comedy.
