History, comedy and tragedy, of course. As You Like It contains elements of pastoral. Some scholars have identified other genres: romance, in the fairytale plots of Cymbeline or A Winter's Tale; fantasy, in the tales of magic The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream; tragicomedy, in the dark comedies like Measure for Measure and The Merchant of Venice. And then there is Troilus and Cressida, which is almost nihilistic.
