A tragedy is when a person struggles to overcome difficulties. And a comedy is a story that ends happily.
Tragedies and Comedies
Tragedies did not drift into comedies. The were performed at separate festivals: the tragic in the spring and the comic in the winter.
The Romans enjoyed various types of plays, particularly comedies and tragedies. Comedies, often influenced by Greek New Comedy, featured everyday characters and situations, incorporating humor and satire. Tragedies, on the other hand, dealt with serious themes, often based on historical or mythological events. The Roman playwrights, such as Plautus and Terence for comedies, and Seneca for tragedies, contributed significantly to the development of these genres.
Greek plays typically fall into two main categories: tragedies and comedies. While tragedies often end in sorrow and misfortune, comedies generally feature happy endings, resolving conflicts with humor and often culminating in festive celebrations or reconciliations. Notable examples of Greek comedies include works by playwrights like Aristophanes, which often conclude on a positive note, reflecting the triumph of love, community, or social harmony.

Just the way you think. The tragedies are depressing and end up sadly, whereas the comedies are funny, satirical and upbeat, and end well. Read Oedipus Rex and Lysistrata to see what I mean--they are both great plays.
