He has used comedy throughout many of his historic plays‚ but in this play‚ comedy is the drawing point that makes it fun and entertaining‚ yet clear and intuitive. Generally‚ his tragedies are not seen as comical‚ but in reality‚ they are full of humor. However‚ these comic elements don’t simply serve to relieve tension; they have much
