The Comedy of Errors

"Comedy brings color to our life"



                The Comedy of Errors it was a play written by William Shakespeare, it is his shortest and one of his farcical comedies due to the mistaken identity. It is observed of classical unities, it is truly a good Shakespearean master piece. It was about two pairs of twins who were separated at birth due to the ship wreckage, Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse got along with Egeon, meanwhile Antipholus and Dromio of Ephesus was with Emilia, as Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse search for their long lost twin, they ended up in the town of Ephesus and there sequence of events happen due to the confusion going on between the pair of twins and the people attached to them. But surely they ended up happily seeing each other and the family now became a complete and happy picture.


                We all known that Shakespeare is really a good writer, and I don't doubt it that he makes numbers of plays and stories that is truly beyond ones satisfaction, and the Comedy of Errors is one of those, at start the characters and the flow of story is somehow confusing, but that gave the reader enthusiasm to continue, it was legibly done. All the conflicts going on between the characters due to their mistaken identities, the rivalry between the two cities, the search for a long lost family member, the love shown by the couples and that heartwarming moment when they saw each other. It all adds up to the intense emotion felt while reading the story. 

               
                    We can site many lessons regarding this story of the twins, though it is comedy which we thinks that is purely about laughing and having fun, behind those were heartwarming realities that one can surely relate. One of those was deep love for the family members; not knowing on what will be the result of his journey he didn't hesitate to look for his twin brother. Hope is one lesson also though they were separated for a long time they still have this faith that they will soon see each other. Faithfulness this was shown by Egeon and Emilia so many years passed and they kept their vow for each other until they meet again. Sometimes time and place separate two persons together but it doesn't mean that the bond will be gone, this will be a way making it stronger and keeping each other closer.
