The correct answer is A) type of narrative. A tragicomedy is a literary genre that combines elements of a comedy and a tragedy. A tragicomedy is either a drama with comedic infusions or a serious play with a happy ending. Tragicomedy were very prevalent in Ancient Greece, where they were played in amphitheaters, mostly by men, with a chorus of women in the background. They equally existed in the Renaissance Revival times in Italy and England. They are sometimes seen as dark comedies and/or satirical.
