Comedy

Comedy is a genre of entertainment and storytelling that has the main objective to evoke laughter within its audience. Comedy can be considered a reflection of the current society mentality and standards, since humor tends to evolve with our own principles. Sometimes even with sub-genres of comedy, like satire, it is even a more direct reflection of our society since it makes direct criticism of it.The comedy can be completely varied, from a lighthearted tone to a really sharp criticism.

Etymology

The word comedy comes from the Greek "komoidia", which is a merge between komos (festival) and aeidein (to sing). It was referred to common festive songs that were performed during Dionisyan festivals. Comedy was one of the main dramatic genres along with tragedy.

In Medieval and Renaissance times, comedy evolved from varied dramatic theater and folk plays, being mainly part of scenic and acting arts. Later in modern-comedy, we've got new ways of comedic expression, like stand-up, television and cinema, getting to new sub-genres like slapstick, situational humor and dark humor.
