I think ultimately my novel Trainspotting is a comedy mainly besause the ending I would classify as a happy one. Its kinda hard to tell because the book is centered around a really depressing and low time and its over some serious issues, but it has its comedic parts as well. In the end Renton leaves with the drug money to start a new life, it doesn’t say wether he stays clean and actually starts a new life but he is hopeful. He even mentions trying to get spud his share of the money because spud was ultimately his one true friend. There are plenty of darker moments in the novel though. Baby Dawn dies, sickboy is a man hoe and always using girls, playing his mates, and killing animals for fun, Begbie start fights for no reason other then
