The "problem plays" were comedies which did not fit into the artificial definitions academics created for comedies, and which were written by Shakespeare at about the same time as his great tragedies. Measure for Measure and All's Well that Ends Well appear to turn out well for everyone at the end but the plots deal with some serious issues and the ending is ambiguous. This is even more true of Troilus and Cressida where at the end of the play everyone is alive but miserable, except for Hector and Patroclus who died part way through the play.
