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.
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.
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.
