When you read serious research by historians, you inevitably come to the conclusion that at all times dramas and tragedies on the historical stage unfolded much more often than comedies. In the history of each country there were many cruel wars and bloody coups, obvious meanness and secret treachery, a lot of betrayal and lies, which from time immemorial were used as their tool by rabid ambitious people in all corners of the globe to achieve the highest power. At all times, sad coexisted in life with funny, and tragedy - with comedy or melodrama, or even with outright farce.
