Хроми Хепиенд
Lame happy ending

Summary/Abstract: In a comparative analysis of Moliere's Tartuffe and Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, the author examines the elements of plot composition, showing that writers use different motivational procedures to explain the relationships between dramatic characters. In other words, the motivation comes from scenic, theatrical reasons, and not from the logic of dramatic actions. The common denominator for both dramatic texts is the deus ex machina, the solution that brings the end of the theatrical play to the expected, but no doubt, to "lame happy ending" that, according to the established custom, belongs to comedy.
