∙ 10y agoShakespeare himself did not divide his plays into tragedies, comedies and histories. It was his publishers that did that. In fact, scholars have for centuries been dissatisfied with this oversimplistic categorization. When Hamlet was first published it was called the "tragicall historie of Hamlet": does that make it tragedy or history? Of course the Quartos also call Richard III and Henry VI Part 3 "Tragedies", Merchant of Venice a "comical historie", King Lear a "history" and Pericles a "play".
