Comedy of Errors


     It was a play written by William Shakespeare. A very great and known writer of his time and even now, his plays are being talked about. It is one of his shortest plays and the most humorous. Comedy of errors is about twin brothers that were separated by a shipwreck and now, their father is looking for the missing twins.
      This comedy of errors, for the first time I have read it, I was totally confused and I barely understand anything. I am very confused, especially when it was about the mistaken identity of the twin brothers, Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Ephesus.  It is even more confusing and harder to understand when you read the summary. Because, after I read the play, I thought reading the summary will be easier, but I was wrong, it was harder to understand. So, I tried another way to understand the flow of the play. I watched a video of it, part by part in the youtube and it made my mind settled. After watching the video, I have learned the flow of the play and I read the story again. Then, it became easier for me to know the whole story in details.
      Comedy of errors is really a unique and peculiar play for most of us. But still, the great William Shakespeare had made a way to make the readers be interested his writing. Even it was really confusing, you will know the story if you are really paying attention to it and letting yourself imagine and putting yourself in the play, you will understand it in no time.
