Comedy vs Tragedy vs Anglo-Analysis

They say that if a play ends in marriage it is considered a comedy, and if it ends in death, a tragedy (well, according to Bill S. anyway) What of all else in between? These two disctinct categories fail to come even moderately close to the myriad (hehehe) of possibilities that exist for endings of plays, or beginnings of stories, or any of the mish-mashed situations one may find themself in at any given time of life.

And really, are they THAT descriptive? I mean, yes, it is a tragedy when someone dies and yes, some may consider marriage the epitome of comedy, but again, what of everything else? I mean, you are running to catch a plane and the heel breaks off your favourite stiletto, is THAT not a tragedy? Some would say yes. Or you are trying to hang up curtains on a bunk bed ladder and fall through the French Doors. Is that not comedy? Depends on whose point of view you are considering I suppose.

And the POINT, you ask, after reading through this perhaps incongruent paragraph from English 101, is that sometimes there is crossover, where no label fits and you are there and now and the moment evolves into something without category. And you take the moment and make it your own, for what it's worth then.

Às vezes vida é fácil, e às vezes vida é difícil (those categories again!), mas se são muito afortunada vida tem bons tempos e a maioria de todo, amigos muito bons.
