Informal Theme # 2.5: Make things so Complicated!

                 

                     Before, I thought Shakespeare was just good in making tragic and love stories. But after I read this one, I realized that he is such a good writer whatever genre you wanted it to be. This story for me is the most unpredictable and unique of all, because it is not just funny, it is also confusing. "Comedy of Errors" didn't use tragic scenes nor mean and atrocious characters. Didn't end up in wars or dying people, and it didn't leave my eyes filled with tears and pain. But I can truly say, this is still as different and as enjoying as Shakespeare's other plays.
                    For me, Comedy of errors is a mixture of confusing, funny and complicated acts and scenes. What else can you conclude? If you read a story of twins, a twin brother who are Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Ephesus who came to separate lives living away from each other. With another twin, Dromio of Ephesus and Dromio of Syracuse, who also happened to be separated, each became a slave of each Antipholus'. Surely your head will twist and your mind will go all round dancing, because the next scenes will be about the exchanged of identities of each of the twins. That will be the root of all the conflicts, misunderstanding and problems that will occur. Well, I admit, at first, I was so depressed at the same  time felt little irritated, because I really can't get along with the story while my classmates are reporting. But when I decided to read it myself, I realized it was still confusing but in a funnier way.

                    It was not just an ordinary farcical comedy that made people's thoughts interchanged, but it is also a story that leave marks in our minds and hearts about certain things. Important matters, like its moral lessons and values, especially about family. It was, and will always be an "ALL in ONE" story, that will fit in any time, situation or person who will read it. I'm hundred percent sure that, as many people cried and sighed with pain while reading other Shakespeare's plays, it is as many as the people who laughed and cried out of joy because of this amazing story. Shakespeare made things so COMPLICATED!
