“The Comedy of Errors” is really a humorous comedy play of William Shakespeare. The
play mainly focuses on the main relationship between husband and wife,
parent-child love and brotherly friendship for some serious discussion. The
Comedy of Errors is not a comedy of ideas. It is a situational farce of
mistaken identity with violent physical comedy. The plot of this play is just
fairly simple but sometimes full of misidentification ridiculous situations.
Like in a farce, the
audience is asked to believe in a world that looks similar, but mainly
exaggerates and builds upon society’s mistakes. Twins used to be viewed as two
separate paths which could be taken, of as a set of alternate paths. Sons were
often considered to be extensions of their fathers. I really enjoyed the plot
of this play even though confusions increase as the story goes on and on. For
example is the two Antipholus, they are not only having trouble with their
identity because their perception changed, but also because they are recognized
as someone else in a strange land.
The play contains all
the elements of a Shakespearean comedy. There’s a conflict, some resolution,
confusion is cleared up, families and lovers get reunited, and it’s also a
funny or comic one. The play is also filled with upsetting subjects. There are
broken families, a troubled marriage, slavery, grief and anger and even
frequent violence. It is not only the characters' confusion that is
released by the final scene, it is in which the "errors" are well-
explained and resolved. The simplicity, with which these problems are overcome,
indicates to the theme of the play which is “Love and happiness will conquest
over all”.
