Comedy

Comedy is a genre of literature, film, and performing arts that aims to provoke laughter or amusement in its audience. It typically employs humor, satire, and exaggeration to explore human behavior and societal norms. Comedy can take various forms, including stand-up, improvisation, sketch, and situational comedy, often characterized by its lighthearted tone and a focus on characters in humorous scenarios. The themes may involve misunderstandings, romantic entanglements, and everyday life situations, often leading to a happy or uplifting resolution. Historically, comedy has been contrasted with tragedy, with its emphasis on the absurdities and contradictions of life rather than its serious or tragic aspects.
