Tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear
Comedies: Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream
Tragedies, comedies and Romances. Timon of Athens, Venus and Adonis, and Henry VIII are three of Shakespeare's works. Perhaps not the most famous ones . . .
Shakespeare wrote 18 comedies. The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Measure for Measure and Cymbeline are three of them.
When the first Complete Shakespeare edition (called the First Folio) was published, it was called "William Shakespeare's Histories, Tragedies and Comedies" and all the plays were put into one of those three categories.
In the First Folio, all of Shakespeare's plays were divided into Comedies, Tragedies and Histories. Although it is not always easy to place some of the plays in these three categories (and Shakespeare was well aware that they could mix and overlap and be involved with the category of the Pastoral), the division seems to have stuck.
"The Taming Of The Shrew" is a comedy. In fact, it has been called the closest thing to a farce that Shakespeare ever penned. Shakespeare wrote three kinds of plays: Dramas, Comedies, and Histories.
