The Comedy of Errors. From the title itself, is it really funny? Lots of questions have entered my mind the first time I heard about the title of this piece.
The Comedy of Errors is considered one of the earliest plays of William Shakespeare. It is the shortest and one of his most farcical comedies with only 16 258 words. It is about the story of two long lost twin brothers who were mistaken by their identities and only recognized by the place they were from. It became funny because of the delusions all throughout the play.
I tried to read the summary of this piece a day before our classmates would discuss it. At first glance, I found it boring because I cannot understand anything. I asked my classmate to narrate the story to me so that I will be able to understand it but I wasn't really able to tolerate on it. Tons of puzzlement ran throughout my mind because of the perplexity I was experiencing from the characters. We had our class discussion the next day. At last, I was able to altercate the whole story when our teacher broke down everything.
Life is two-riffic with twins. Especially, when they really look alike. You will not be able to know who is who. I spent too much time wondering which of identical twins is the more alike.All in all, The Comedy of Errors jumbled me.
