Summary | "The Comedy of Errors" by William Shakespeare is a classic play written in the late 16th century. This comedic farce revolves around the themes of mistaken identity and familial confusion, featuring two sets of identical twins, separated at birth, whose encounters in the city of Ephesus lead to a series of humorous and chaotic situations. The story begins with Egeon, a merchant from Syracuse, seeking his lost family and facing execution due to the enmity between Syracuse and Ephesus. At the start of the play, Egeon is caught in Ephesus violating a law that condemns any Syracuse-born individual who enters the city. As he pleads for his life, he recounts his tragic backstory of separation from his wife and their twin sons. Simultaneously, the audience is introduced to his son, Antipholus of Syracuse, and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, who have just arrived in Ephesus, unaware of the chaos that awaits them. Their presence, along with the intertwined fates of their counterparts, Antipholus of Ephesus and Dromio of Ephesus, hints at a whirlwind of comedic misunderstandings and mistaken identities that will unfold throughout the play.
