You're using a contemporary definition of Comedy.

It does have jokes though, actually a lot of them. Inferno is especially funny if you know the historical context.

Comedy means it has a happy ending you fucking retarded NIGGER. Seriously? Are you that fucking dumb? Kill yourself. KILL YOURSELF. KILL YOU'RE SELF YOU RETARDED IDIOT GAY ASS HONKY. Da fuck... Back to r*ddit you piece of horseshit. Your mom should've had an abortion. Faggot. You're so stupid that you disappointed your mother. When the doctors saw her come in for birth they slapped her because the doctors were psychics and saw that you'd grow up to be a stupid fucking cis, white male. Dumb troll. Jump off a bridge into the ocean.

Actually, this one isn't quite fair, since hamlet meant hamless in early modern English.

So, Sonichu with Virgil instead of a electric hedehog pokemon.

Great fucking work, western cannon.

>>9045726
So you're telling me you're reading a book called crime and punishment and didn't expect any punishment? That's like if you read portrait of the artist as a young man and expected a portrait but no young man.
