Shakespeare’s comedies are more upbeat and usually concern love and end in marriage. They often contain multiple, intertwining plots, puns and cases of mistaken identity. In the comedy Twelfth Night, the character Viola disguises herself as a man, “Cesario,” to serve a duke who is in love with a rich countess. In a twist, the countess then falls in love with “Cesario.” Another category of Shakespeare’s plays is tragicomedy. Also called his late romances, his tragicomedies contain elements of both tragedy and comedy and often contain supernatural elements, too.
