Shakespeare often juxtaposes humor and tragedy. In fact, almost all of his major tragedies include "light" scenes that both cut through the tension and provide dramatic contrast with the gut-wrenching scenes.

What are the types of drama and examples?

The main types of drama include tragedy, comedy, melodrama, and farce. Tragedy often involves serious themes and the downfall of the protagonist, exemplified by Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Comedy focuses on humor and often resolves with a happy ending, as seen in Molière's "Tartuffe." Melodrama features exaggerated characters and emotions, while farce relies on absurd situations; an example of farce is "Noises Off" by Michael Frayn.
