Romantic comedies tend to centered on the idea of ‘true love’ with humorous plot lines. They tend to be about two protagonists, normally a man and a woman who meet and then follows Toderov’s theory beginning with a equilibrium and disruption and attempt to repair the disruption and then back to a calm period, the equilibrium again. However in some rom coms the script writers intend to make the two protagonists hesitant to admit being in love and believe that they do not like each other however the screen writers leave clues that suggest that the characters are a good match and declare their love for each other and the film ends happily typically with one on the following, moving in together, weddings or the beginning of a family.
Comedies began during ancient Greece and often included a sexual element through theater productions and this influenced people like Shakespeare.
The invention of ‘romantic love’ was not ever considered until the medieval period. ‘Romance’ came to refer to ‘romantic love’ theatrical performances, rather than heroic adventures of medieval romance which tended to be about knights winning over a lady and so on.
