Human comedy refers to a type of novel that is usually considered a "comedy" in literature because it mainly tells about the joy, humor, and happiness of human life. The plots of these novels often involved various absurd, bizarre, and funny scenes, and the protagonists were often optimistic and positive people. One of the most famous authors of human comedy was from France. His work, Human Comedy, was a series of novels that described social history, including Old Man Goriot, Eugenie Grandet, The Bank of Newsingen, Disillusionment, The Poor Life of a Poor Man, and so on. These novels profoundly revealed the various ills of French society at that time, reflecting the gap between the rich and the poor and the cruel reality of capitalist society. In addition, there were many other famous human comedies such as the British novelist Charles Dickens, the Russian novelist Dostoevsky, the American novelist Hardy, and so on. This had a profound influence on the literature of later generations.
