Explanation:

The genre of comedy and tragedy are very much opposite to each other. The comedy genre is usually an amusing piece of work, written with the tone of satire and irony. The ending of comedy genre is harmonious and marks a new beginning.

For example, in the romantic comedy of Shakespeare, "A Midsummer's Night Dream", we can see that there were some unpleasant circumstances but in the play ends with three marriages, which marks a new beginning for these couples.
