Shakespearean comedy Among the essential characteristics of the Shakespearean comedy we find the humor, the dialectics of a language full of puns, the contrast between opposing characters by social class, sex, gender and power (a typical example would be The Taming of the Shrew, also translated into times as The Taming of the brave), the erotic allusions and connotations, the costumes and the tendency to spread chaos and confusion to the story line leads to the recovery of the lost and the corresponding restoration in the framework of natural. The picture of the comedy is also exploring a society where all members are equally studied in a very different society as seen in their historical works, mounted on the Machiavellian pursuit of power ("sand ladder" because of its emptiness of content) and disruption of the cosmic order that the king represents God on earth. As a gallery of social types of comedy, then, is a larger space in Shakespeare's tragic and historic and better reflects the society of his time, but also highlights in this field the author's talent for creating characters specifically individualized, as the archetype of the jester and sanchopancesco called Falstaff. While the tone of the plot is often burlesque, sometimes it is a disturbing element latent tragic, as in The Merchant of Venice. When addresses issues that can trigger a tragic denouement, Shakespeare comes to teaching, in the usual manner, without bias, to propose remedies or moralize or preach at all, the risks of vice, wickedness and irrationality of human beings without fall into the destruction that appears in his tragedies and let the order of nature and restorative sleep.
