Squares

In my previous post I was talking about triangles. If tragedies are triangular, comedies are square, or at least quadrilateral in some way. In a comedy, everyone ends up with somebody else, unless they are really minor characters. Look at Twelfth Night or A Midsummer Night's Dream! Shakespeare goes to really extreme pains to make everyone end up nicely, all squared away...
