In what way does Shakespeare's the tempest resist traditional genre classification

The Tempest is neither a tragedy nor a comedy. Remember, a Shakespearean tragedy ends in death, including the death of the main character. A Shakespearean comedy ends in marriage. Despite several close calls, The Tempest is not a tragedy because no one dies. And, although the play ends in the marriage of Ferdinand and Miranda, the play is not a strict comedy because several people nearly die during the play. The play therefore incorporates elements of both tragedy and comedy. As a result, the play is often classified as a tragicomedy, or romance.
