For example the movie Shrek starts out as a lonely ogre who hates other creatures (disorder/tragedy). But as the movie progresses the story of Shrek changes to a happy one through much comedic relief. The exact opposite story line would have been a tragedy if it started in order and everyone was happy (Shrek knew donkey and married Fiona ) and then turned tragic when he ended up alone.Kincy GIbsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439302700052477135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-78003665615117034042013-11-02T18:21:54.514-05:002013-11-02T18:21:54.514-05:00When I first read your post I could only think abo...When I first read your post I could only think about that cliche saying, "time heals all wounds." But the more I thought about it, it really is true, the cliche and the statement that comedy is just tragedy plus time, both. Much Ado about Nothing, for example, is a comedy that if the story line wouldn't have progress into a happy ending would have been a tragedy. Comedies in general are just tragedies backwards. It just seems that many comedies start in order, go to disorders and makes it's way back to order. Amy Clementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285846859071789792noreply@blogger.com
