There are four main categories of Shakespearean plays.
The Comedy: Largely romantic, typified by their comedic tendencies, their interest in marriage, and a 'happy' ending. (Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night's Dream, etc.)
The Tragedy: Most obviously classified due to their tragic endings. (Hamlet, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, etc.)
The History: Shakespeare's take on a historical event or person. (Richard III, Henry V, etc.)
The Romances: These are the later plays of Shakespeare that do not fit exactly into one of the above categories. They often deal with magical, familial redemption, and a relatively happy ending. (The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, etc.)
