    wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life” (Faulkner 54). Time represents the ultimate decision maker throughout a person’s life‚ allowing for an individual’s triumph‚ but also for one’s downfall. In William Shakespeare’s play‚ As You Like It (1994)‚ this time that destroys and grows may appear to freeze as the characters move into the Forest of Arden‚ without use or knowledge of time‚ but it most certainly does not. The fact that time‚ at least in the long run‚ will eventually destroy

    believed that tragedy served a higher purpose than comedy because of its cathartic effect. Therefore‚ comedy is delegitimized. But comedy does serve a social purpose that can be considered cathartic. It can be an outlet for social angst. At the time Lysistrata was written‚ Athens‚ a superpower of their time‚ had just lost a battle with Sparta. This probably shattered the conceptions of Athenians. And as a result‚ Aristophanes used a ribald comedy about the less-than-citizen women of Sparta and Athens

    Comedy Critique Goethe’s Faust and Voltaire’s Candide were two of the most interesting books that I have ever read! Both comedies were very different from each other in many ways.

Characteristics such as mistaken identity‚ battle of the sexes‚ and jumping to conclusions are what set the comedic story apart from the tragedy. Within a comedy‚ no matter how much fault‚ and dismay may appear within the story‚ there always seems to be the classic ending of "…and they all lived happily ever after…" Comedies capture the viewer with a sense of compassion and love for the characters in the story
