A comic foil is an Elizabethan tragedy.
"The Spanish Tragedy" was written by Thomas Kyd.
Elizabethan tragedy was written during the reign of Elizabeth I, that is before 1601. Jacobean tragedy was written in the reign of James I, after 1601.
In Greek drama, every play was either a tragedy or a comedy. In Elizabethan drama, even tragic plays had comic relief.
Elizabethan tragedy
Greek and Elizabethan tragedies differ primarily in their structure and thematic focus. Greek tragedies often adhere to a strict three-unity structure (time, place, and action) and emphasize fate and the gods' influence on human lives. In contrast, Elizabethan tragedies, like those written by Shakespeare, allow for more flexible narrative structures and often explore complex human emotions and individual agency. Additionally, Elizabethan tragedies frequently incorporate subplots and comic elements, which are less common in Greek works.
