Describe the characteristics of the type of play that you are reading (history, tragedy, or comedy). How does your play conform to these characteristics. Does it differ? If so, in what way?

I am reading a Midsummer Night's Dream. This play is a comedy. For a play to be considered comedy it has to end in a wedding, feast, or a birth. Comedies also revolve around young love and the struggles a relationship has gone through. A Midsummer Night's Dream has one major characteristic of a comedy because it ends in a marriage. It is the marriage of Theseus and Hypolita. The play also fits the characteristic of showing the struggle of young love. The play shows this with Hermia and Lysander because Hermia's dad wants her to marry someone else. During all of this, the fairies are going around with their potion that makes people fall in love with the first person they see. All in all this play definitely follows the characteristics of a Shakspearean play.
