| | The comedies themselves can be sub-categorized as tragicomedies, romantic comedies, comedies of justice, and simple entertaining comedies with good wholesome fun. | | | The roots of English comedies are in humor rather than in wit, and Shakespeare followed this unacademic tradition, according to the authors. | | | Another characteristic of Shakespearean comedy is the themes of love and friendship, played within a courtly society. |

| | Thesis: Summary, Acknowledgements and Introduction |
| | Disorder, conflict and violence are closely related in Shakespearean comedy and romance, and were used by the dramatist throughout his career. | | | Such violence was an integral part of life, and so earned its place in Shakespearean comedy: the word 'death' appears 118 times in the comedies and romances, I.10 while 'kill' or 'kill'd' occurs 112 times. | | | Rites of passage are closely associated with the natural cycle of birth, growth, death and dissolution, and regeneration through fertility, and in Shakespeare's comedies and romances this cycle is shown to be an underlying motif. |
