ABSTRACT
The strategies described in this article can help you read a comedy, but how are you going to know whether or not the play you are looking at is a comedy? Don't worry, there's a simple solution using only the title of a play and it works for almost every play by Shakespeare! If the play title has the name and a number in it, it is most likely a history (Richard III, Henry V). If the title of the play has either a pair of names or a single name, but no numbers, it is probably a tragedy (Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Hamlet). If the title of the play has a phrase or saying in it, you can bet that it is a comedy (A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You like It, Measure for Measure). Shakespeare wrote most of his comedies early in his career; perhaps it is no mistake that the plays he penned in his youth deal with young people rebelling against the social order of their parents' generation, while in the tragedies and romances he wrote at the end of his career, the theme is often of children betraying or refusing to obey their parents. When Shakespeare was writing romantic comedies, the other playwrights of his era were too, and when he later began focusing on tragedies, it was also part of a large shift in the theatrical vocabulary around him. This shift (from comedies to tragedies) corresponds to the change in England's politics as James I succeeded Elizabeth I on the British throne. Elizabeth, the "Virgin Queen," had refused to marry, and all of England was concerned about what would happen to their society if she died without an heir. [1]

INTRODUCTION
Shakespeare is an unforgettable literary figure and it is not exaggeration if we say that literature is nothing without him. Unfortunately very little is known about him, he is known for what he wrote. All the writing of Shakespeare deal with love, life and death and these universal themes get beautiful touch by him. His poetry and dramas reflect that he had extraordinary knowledge of human psychology.

Therefore, his characters have become memorable in the field of literature. Shakespeare explored poetry and drama but it is drama that brought fame for him. Even his dramas are poetically crafted. Poetry is inseparable from his writing. He has given immortal lines. "To be or not to be" is oft quoted line from "Hamlet" that is reflected in a modern man who is caught in the same idea of perplexity. Shakespeare was influenced by the Roman tragic dramatist Seneca and by the medieval 'mystery' plays. Seneca dealt with the theme of revenge and showed blood and horrible deeds on the stage without hesitation. Seneca was admired greatly in England at the time of renaissance. Numbers of tragedies were written following his style. Shakespeare very much enjoyed making fun of the languages of scholars and courtiers. This is probably the reason why in some of his dramas we find the use of pun. [2]
LITERATURE REVIEW
A Shakespearean comedy is a type of romantic comedy in which the story ends happily, often with a marriage between the various characters. These comedies are light-hearted and often full of humor, making them a favorite among audiences. While the plots of Shakespearean comedies can vary, they often center around misunderstandings or mistaken identities that lead to plenty of comedy and eventually a happy ending.
Shakespearean comedies often center around misunderstandings or mistaken identities that lead to plenty of comedy and eventually a happy ending. This type of plot is perfect for exploring the human condition and poking fun at the foibles that we all share. Shakespeare was a master at creating these types of stories, and his comedies continue to entertain and enlighten audiences centuries after they were first written. Marriage plays an important role in a typical Shakespearean comedy. By the end of the play, most of the main characters are usually married or betrothed. This not only resolves the conflict in the story but also affirms the values of marriage and stability. The institution of marriage is often upheld as a positive force in these comedies, one that brings happiness and resolution. [3]
DISCUSSION AND RESULTS
If comedy characters are to cause laughter, they have to be imagined in isolation, just as they must be sympathized with tragic characters. Otherwise, comedy characters will be sadly pathetic or tragic characters will be unreasonably ridiculous. Some satirists boldly assert that they have been filthy and unfeeling hooligans in order to invite us to the humiliating mockery of stupid and bad-tempered people. The major concern of comedy is the correction of excesses, both in the fool and in the

philosopher. The beginning of the debate is not unrelated to the view of Horace Walpole (2009) who believes "some people think that the world is a comedy for them and others suppose it is a sad story" (p.104). Walpole (2009) maintains that "comedy means judgment" (p.97). We should consider the humorist as a character who has a kind of stupidity in his time or vice in his nature. In comedy, we are invited to watch the actions of mortal human beings, as they must appear in the eyes of a wise person with sufficient impartiality and disinterest, so that we can always find them amusing. We are called into a particular atmosphere to laugh from the bottom of our hearts or smile carelessly at the futility and bad luck that we know from experience for those whose interests, feelings and weaknesses are involved, can be anything but laughter.

CONCLUSION
This article has tried to examine some features of As You Like It, arguing that Shakespeare's comedy is poetic not traditional; although it is creative, it's not solely mixed with humor. His style is more imaginative than pure reasoning; that is, he has an artistic, not necessarily a critical, vision. As Shakespeare builds his romantic world, he seeks to present his reality or perspective on life through the imagination of a playwright. Shakespeare meets the aesthetic needs of the Elizabethan era that wanted a play that could satisfy both the romantic and the humorous instincts of the audience. Perhaps it can be said that in this play, Arden Forest issues its final verdict, because if the play reveals the ultimate truth, its final effect will be negative. In the desire to escape to our magical world, we are always confronted with reality. Reason is not deceived by our illusions. In the play, however, the ideals, although always on the verge of extinction, are constantly recreating themselves. These do not mislead the eye of reason, but in spite of all the interventions of reason, faith in them does not fade away.[5]
