"Waiting for Godot" does not really have any genre. Barely any stage directions are given, and so it is hard for any actor to interpret the scene, i.e. how the stage is set, or what genre the play is. The only stage directions we are given is "A country road. A tree. Evening". However, Beckett himself said that WFG is a tragic comedy. I believe this is because they never get what they are waiting for, but learn a lot about themsleves.

Consider the spanish tragedy as a revenge tragedy Labeled?
Kyd's play The Spanish tragedy was far and away the most popular play in Elizabethan England, so much so that it spawned a whole new genre of play: the revenge tragedy. It starts out with the Spanish lord Lorenzo and his Portuguese prisoner Balthazar. Lorenzo and Balthazar quickly become friends. Balthazar falls in love with Lorenzo's sister Bel-Imperia. However, she seems to be falling for Horatio, son of Hieronymo. They murder Horatio which drives Hieronymo's wife crazy and she kills herself. Hieronymo vows revenge and plans an entertainment for the king: the play Soliman and Perseda. While he's working on that, two more people die as a result of Lorenzo's machinations. The performance of the play is a bloodbath. In his "performance", Hieronymo actually kills Lorenzo and Bel-imperia kills Balthazar. Bel-imperia kills herself and Hieronymo bites his own tongue out to prevent himself from naming Bel-Imperia as his accomplice, murders Lorenzo's father and kills himself. The stage ends up littered with corpses with only minor characters left to drag them off.

Who is the Protagonist and Antagonist in The Merchant of Venice?
It's a bit awkward, because there are two plots in the play. In the first, Bassanio would be the protagonist in his quest for Portia's hand, but there is no antagonist. In the second, Shylock is a kind of antagonist to Antonio's protagonist, but one does not feel that Antonio is a character of that kind of significance. This may be one reason that many modern interpreters recast the play as the Tragedy of Shylock, with Shylock as a protagonist and Portia as an antagonist.
