One Must Fight For A

Tragedy Massages The Human Ego Even As Comedy Deflates It. ... Tragedy Pits Us Against Large Foes And The Trip Wire Is Our Own Character. ... In Comedy We Fall Afoul Of One Another.

In Comedy It's One Human Versus Other Humans And Often One Man (or Woman If I'm Writing It) Against Her Own Worst Impulses.
