14. The two most common types of drama are amusing and boring. heroic and myth. comedy and tragedy.

Did you know that comedy and tragedy have roots in ancient Greece? These two genres not only entertained audiences but also allowed playwrights like Sophocles and Aristophanes to explore complex themes of human experience. Tragedy often delves into profound moral dilemmas and the downfall of its protagonists, while comedy brings about laughter through satirical takes on everyday life, poking fun at societal norms and human foibles. In the real world, these genres still influence modern storytelling! Comedies light up our evenings with laughter—think of sitcoms or rom-coms—while tragic stories remind us of life’s struggles, like movies that touch on deep issues such as loss or injustice. Whether through a chuckle or a tear, both forms connect us and reflect the human condition.
