A comédia is a genre of literature, film, and theater that aims to entertain and amuse audiences through humor. It often features exaggerated characters, absurd situations, and witty dialogue. The primary goal of a comédia is to provoke laughter and provide a light-hearted perspective on everyday life. In many cultures, comédias have evolved over time, incorporating various styles and themes. They can range from slapstick and farce to romantic and satirical forms. Notable examples include the works of William Shakespeare, whose comédias often explore love and mistaken identities, and modern films that continue to reflect societal norms through humor.
