    Another well-written piece of Shakespeare was introduced to us. As we all know, Shakespeare is a famous author notable for its well-written pieces that inspired many people. This piece, Comedy of Errors, is known as a “Plautine comedy.” It simply means that this story starts in chaos and ends in peace. Unlike other pieces, this piece is a comedy. This brings out exciting and thrilling events in every act and scene that every reader would enjoy.


      Comedy of Errors for me is a bit confusing. What makes it confusing is because there are two twins in this story and both of the twins have the same name. I laughed in the climax of the story for the characters themselves were also confused and not sure if they person they are talking to is the right one. Another hilarious thing is that they have the company of each other for many years and yet they could not determine which is which. They should be able to know who of the twins they are talking to. Even the wife itself had this confusion on its own husband, though she should be the first one who knows his husband well. At first, I have no idea what this piece is all about and even thought of it as tragedy but as I go on with the story, my expectations were not met. It is a very funny story after all.


      As the Comedy of Errors ended, a nice and happy ending was shown and the confusion of the readers ended as well. Peace is brought up in the story which is very appropriate for me. I would recommend this story to each and everyone who would like to encounter a unique piece from Shakespeare, though it’s not his original piece. I’m sure many readers will also enjoy this as I did when I was reading this logical yet hilarious story.
