Considering the definition of comedy (Comedy: a work in which the protagonist overcomes moderate difficulties, often through cooperation with others, thus gaining a place in a group or in society), distinguish between "comic" and "funny." How might a comedy help to purge pent-up emotions, just as a tragedy does?
What contemporary comedies have you seen recently? Describe how one movie, play, or TV show highlights the following elements: comic hero, the role of society, monologue or dialogue, a happy ending.
What does the phrase "much ado about nothing" mean to you? What experiences have you had that illustrate the concept? What might be a complicating incident of the comedy by that name? What do you think will happen with Shakespeare's characters?
Have you seen, read, or performed in any of Shakespeare's comedies? Tell me about your experience.
