Answer:

Tragedy - a serious play, with a sad ending

History - a play based on the life of an English king

Comedy - a lighthearted play with a happy ending

Tragedy - Because its protagonist goes down a dark path of treachery and violence, Macbeth is a classic tragedy. His downfall and death are inescapable. Macbeth, like the protagonists of other classic tragedies, is a prominent political figure.

I hope this helps you
