The Comedy of Errors. E-book. Formato EPUB. <b>The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare</b>&nbsp;<i><b>The Comedy of Errors</b></i>&nbsp;is one of&nbsp;William Shakespeare&#39;s&nbsp;early plays. It is his shortest and one of his most&nbsp;farcical&nbsp;comedies, with a major part of the humour coming from&nbsp;slapstick&nbsp;and mistaken identity, in addition to&nbsp;puns&nbsp;and&nbsp;word play.<br /><br /><i>The Comedy of Errors</i>&nbsp;is, along with&nbsp;<i>The Tempest</i>, one of only two Shakespeare plays to observe the Aristotelian principle of&nbsp;unity of time&mdash;that is, that the events of a play should occur over 24 hours. It has been adapted for opera, stage, screen and musical theatre numerous times worldwide. In the centuries following its premiere, the play&#39;s title has entered the popular English lexicon as an idiom for &quot;an event or series of events made ridiculous by the number of errors that were made throughout&quot;.<br /><br />Set in the&nbsp;Greek&nbsp;city of&nbsp;Ephesus,&nbsp;<i>The Comedy of Errors</i>&nbsp;tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were&nbsp;accidentally separated at birth. Antipholus of&nbsp;Syracuse&nbsp;and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus.<br /><br />When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on&nbsp;mistaken identities&nbsp;lead to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and false accusations of&nbsp;infidelity, theft, madness, and&nbsp;demonic possession.
