DYFALU: A Welsh term for a form of fanciful conceit in which a string of sequential metaphors compares an object to a number of diverse things--often using compound words in a manner similar to the Anglo-Saxon or Old Norse kenning.
A comedy, in contrast to a tragedy, is a genre of drama in literature that is characterized by its happy and vivacious ending. Besides making the audience happy, a comedy rather importantly intends to evoke humour and amusement in the audience by means of extensive laughter.
Tragedy (from the Greek: ÏÏÎ±Î³á¿³Î´Î¯Î±, tragÅidia) is a form of drama based on human suffering that invokes in its audience an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in the viewing. For a work to be tragic, it need not have a tragic ending. 2  Although Aristotle says that catharsis (purgation of emotion) should be the goal of tragedy, this is only an ideal. 3  In conformity with the moral codes of the period, plays should not show evil being rewarded or nobility being degraded.
