Comedy

Comedy is a genre of literature, film, and performing arts characterized by humor and the intention to amuse and entertain the audience. It typically involves the use of exaggerated situations, witty dialogue, and comedic characters to provoke laughter. Comedy often explores themes of human experience, social norms, and the absurdities of life, frequently relying on irony, satire, and parody. The style can range from light-hearted and playful to more complex forms that critique societal issues. In theater and film, comedies may include subgenres such as romantic comedy, slapstick, and dark comedy, each with its own unique approach to eliciting humor. The ultimate goal of comedy is to create a sense of enjoyment and relief through laughter.
