What is the main difference between a shakespearian comedy and a shakespearean tragedy?

The ToneThe main difference between Shakepearean comedy and Shakespearean tragedy is the tone. The comedy is designed to be funny, while the tragedy will be sad... that is the main difference, and one that you can predict before even reading them. The difference is that a comedy has a light romantic spot to it while usually the tragedies have killing and despair. People laugh in a comedy and people cry in a tragedy. Well, a comedy is supposed to make people laugh. A tragedy often makes people cry. The EndingA Shakespearean comedy, by definition, is one of Shakespeare's stories with a happy ending. The difference between that and a tragedy is that tragedies always have a sad ending. The use of actual jokes and comedy didn't play a part in creating either genre, because it, especially innuendo, was used in both types. The simple answer is that in a tragedy they die at the end, in a comedy they get married. The comedies end happily, usually with everybody getting married. The tragedies end sadly, usually with everybody getting dead. A comedy has a happy ending. A tragedy has a sad ending. The comedy ends happily but the tragedy always ends in death. Traditionally a comedy will end in a wedding and a tragedy with the death of a main character. In the comedies a whole lot of people get married at the end. In the tragedies a whole lot of people die at the end. One ends with a smile; one ends in tears. The PlotComedy leads towards resolution and tragedy leads towards devastation. There can be funny parts in a tragedy and sad parts in a comedy.
