Best Answer

In the period when Shakespeare was writing his great tragedies he also wrote comedies, but they were comedies with a dark edge to them. At the end of the play, everyone seems to be alive and happy but they may not be as happy as they seem. Measure for Measure and All's Well that Ends Well are good examples of this. Troilus and Cressida is even darker, and although everyone except Hector survives the play, they are not very happy about their situation. The play, despite its ancient roots, is very modern in its cynical interpretation of people's motives and the portrayal of heroes, and the very ambivalent moral values shown by everyone.
