A selection of works are available as ebooks from Simon and Schuster. William Shakespeare's plays. Categories : William Shakespeare's works Plays. The audience knows that because they are watching a comedy, no one is in real danger and everything will be alright in the end.
This reassuring feeling is what drives the sense of mirth in Renaissance drama. Shakespeare always played with the genres in which he wrote and was a master of mixing elements of tragedy in comedy and vice versa. The ability to combine such elements made his plays richer to watch and richer to think about after the show was over. Some of the problems raised in a Shakespeare play may not be satisfactorily resolved by the marriage at the end.
In Measure for Measure , Isabella is forced into a marriage with the Duke even though she has spent the whole play defending her chastity from the advances of Angelo. Although the comic genre generally upholds the conventions of the society in which it is written, it brings to mind some of the most unnerving aspects concerning those conventions. Although the endings are always happy, the means by which those happy endings are achieved are sometimes dubious in Shakespearean comedy.
Whereas comedy begins with disorder or a problem and ends with harmony and marriage, tragedy begins with relative order and ends in disharmony and death. There is another important distinction between tragedy and comedy that Northrop Frye points out in his book Anatomy of Criticism : comedies usually deal with groups of people couples or a community, whereas tragedies focus in on the misfortune of an individual.
The tragic hero is usually an aristocrat or a great and important individual who suffers a great misfortune, thus making his misfortune seem larger than life. In King Lear , when the king suffers, nature itself reacts in a storm and the kingdom falls into chaos.
The audience is intended to feel pity and fear as a result of what he or she sees happening on stage and is intended to derive moral lessons from the misfortunes of the individual characters for whom he or she empathizes. We watch Hamlet, empathize with him and learn from his example even though he dies at the end. The famous movie, Saroyan Yeghbayrnere , is an example of a more contemporary tragedy in which the audience shares in the pain and suffering of two brothers serving in opposing armies.
As with all tragedies, Saroyan Yeghbayrnere, ends in death, separation and discord. What makes tragic characters inspiring and interesting is their reaction to their unfortunate situations.
It is his thoughts that make the audience sympathize and grow attached to Hamlet, not his actions. And so when Hamlet suffers a downfall, the audience feels pity and fear. At the beginning of King Lear, Lear is a powerful and intimidating figure. As the play progresses, Lear falls into misfortune and realizes his own frailties and shortcomings.
At this moment a king is brought down to the level of a regular human being, and can thus make an emotional connection with the audience.
