Tragedies deal with serious or painful issues and always end in a tragedy.
Comedies deal with happy or humorous events and always end happily.
Tragicomedies combine tragic and comic elements.
The types of texts used in the dramatic genre are dialogue and monologue.
Stage directions are used to indicate the staging and acting of the characters.
