Abstract

This article explores the genre of English comedy, focusing on its historical development, key artistic features, and its impact on theatrical and literary tradition. Particular attention is given to the works of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, one of the most prominent representatives of 18th-century English comedic drama. His plays are analyzed as examples of typical traits of English comedy, such as satirical orientation, witty dialogue, social critique, and a gallery of recognizable character types. The article concludes by emphasizing the significance of comedy as a powerful medium for reflecting social realities through art.
