Comedy of Error


                A good story to read and among the best of Shakespeare.  The story is timely considering that we have somehow neglecting the family value of love, unity and harmony.  I appreciate the character of Egeon, a merchant of Syracuse toward his family.  In spite of the possibility that the twin can die on the sea he still have hopes of reuniting the whole family.  He did not give up his hope of finding them.   The length of years did not discourage him.
            As to story I appreciates Shakespeare for his style of telling the story which make the reader feel that they were characters and present on every scene.  The discussion and the transition of the different plot were clear. It guided the readers to understand each plot. The story provides the emotion that was to be felt by the reader.  The only problem was the Characters were mistaken for one another, but they do not pretend to be other than what they are no disguises here, only resemblances which give the readers the idea of what the ending will be.
The story also gives a moral lesson that every much learn.  The broken family of Egeon's family which has been separated for more than 20 years is now they are put back together as if time and distance had not intervened between them. The marriage of Antipholus of Ephesus and Adriana which was threatened by jealousy is reconciled after their misapprehensions have been cleared away. The story central theme was Love and felicity will triumph over all.
