I am reading Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", which is a comedy. I think this play is a great example of a Shakespearean comedy. Shakespearean comedies always have a lighter, more fun feel to them, lot of the time having to do with young love. A comedy ends in a feast or a wedding, where in the end "A Midsummer Night's Dream" there is lots of marriage or promise to marriage. Another characteristic in comedies is that the protagonist doesn't die, which is also true in this play. I think "A Midsummer Night's Dream stays true to the guidelines of a Shakespearean comedy. Even though I wouldn't say there was that much comedic content, yet still funny, the characteristics still make it a Shakespearean comedy.
