    • Abstract:
      The article examines the different plot structures in dealing with humors. Albert Bermal, a critic and a professor of theater, explains that comedy is a genre of a play or motion pictures that proclaim happiness in its ending. The author elaborates the two plot structures of a comic narrative namely; equivocal plot, wherein it introduces its incongruities simultaneously and continuously, and improbable plot, wherein it develops its incongruities in a sequential manner.
