 Genres of Drama

William Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo and Juliet is an example of a tragedy
Tragedy
It is a  drama that presents life as solemn and serious. The central character, the hero who is admired at first part becomes arrogant and not worthy at all. The characters flaw is the reason why the story comes to some sad or disastrous end.
The Octoroon (1859) and The Colleen Bawn (1860), both by Dion Boucicault
Melodrama
a drama that emphasizes the never ending battle between good and evil wherein good always wins. This makes use of stereotyped characters like a hero, his heroine, and a villain.
Comedy
