“REACTION TO COMEDY OF ERRORS”

Comedy of Errors, a play written by William Shakespeare, is one of his masterpieces. Its major characters are Egeon and his wife Emilia, their sons, Antipholus of Ephesus and Syracuse and their slaves, Dromio of Ephesus and Syracuse. The story is about the twins, on how they found their selves. The story happened because of the shipwreck, Antipholus and Dromio of Ephesus were with Egeon while his other twin and his slave were with his mother. That’s the main reason why the story goes and because Antipholus of Syracuse and Ephesus were identical, lot of conflicts arise.

While reading the story, I found it very confusing but it will improve your understanding and at the same time, helps you think analytically. It is because of the way the story was written, it will really had a need for you to think and analyze everything about each scene so you can understand the plot and the sequence of the events because if you will not pay attention on it, you will not picture it in your mind. My first reaction for this story was that, the author really used to write the twins name and their slaves name, the same to confuse the readers. Like, when I was reading it, the only clue that I’m thinking was the village where they live. The two villages were Ephesus and Syracuse. The two lives on different villages because of the shipwreck, so that’s the only difference between them.

 

The play was not that so wide but the names were the only confusing part. Some of the confusing parts were when Antipholus of Ephesus’ wife picked the wrong husband; I was also confused like the wife. Also, the part where Angelo gave the ring to one of the twin was really confusing. At first, I really read it for more than three times before I understand what does the author mean. Another shocking part was when their mother revealed herself to her family. All in all, I’ve learned lot of knowledge from this play, although it’s confusing and like a circus, if you will just pay attention and focus on each word and thought they want to impart, you will say that… COMEDY OF ERRORS is the best… lot of errors…. But in the end… happily ever after…..             “,)     *o*
