Is The Merchant of Venice a Tragedy or Comedy?

In my opinion I feel that the Merchant of Venice is both a tragedy and a comedy. Due to the sad ending of Shylock's tale and fight for revenge, the large crowds of people in the court, and the suspense created, the play would be considered a tragedy. But because of the other character's happier endings, the play would be considered a comedy. Throughout the play, there was also numerous jokes said by the characters, which contributes to it being a comedy. There were many intertwining plots that occurred, where different lovers tried to overcome difficult problems throughout the play. Therefore, I believe that Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is both a Tragedy and Comedy.
