25. By the pricking of my thumbs,Something
wicked this way comes.--MacBeth, IV1
  •    Tragedy (like epic ) depicts serious
    incidents in which protagonists undergo a change
    from happiness to suffering, often involving the
    death of others as well as the main characters,
    and resulting from both the protagonists' actions
    and the inescapable limits of the human
    condition.

  • . A systematic, written account of events,
    particularly of those affecting a nation,
    institution, science, or art, and usually
    connected with a philosophical explanation of
    their causes a true story, as distinguished from
    a romance -- distinguished also from annals,
    which relate simply the facts and events of each
    year, in strict chronological order from
    biography, which is the record of an individual's
    life and from memoir, which is history composed
    from personal experience, observation, and
    memory.

Comedies
  • A dramatic composition, or representation of a
    bright and amusing character, based upon the
    foibles of individuals, the manners of society,
    or the ludicrous events or accidents of life a
    play in which mirth predominates and the
    termination of the plot is happy -- opposed to
    tragedy.

    down in 1613 and was immediately rebuilt. It was
    closed by the Puritans in 1642.

    Queen on Thursday 12 June 1997, its Opening

    every summer it now offers performances of plays
    by Shakespeare and his contemporaries on the type

    authentic clothing.
