About This Novel
"The Comedy of Errors" tells the ridiculous story of a pair of twin brothers who are very similar in appearance and body. After being separated in a shipwreck at sea, they reappeared together in a foreign city eighteen years later, causing many misunderstandings. The period from 1590 to 1613 was the golden age of Shakespeare's creation. His early plays, mainly comedies and historical dramas, reached their peak of depth and artistry in the late 16th century. By 1608, he was mainly writing tragedies. Shakespeare advocated noble sentiments, and his tragedies often described sacrifice and revenge, including "Othello", "Hamlet", "King Lear" and "Macbeth", which are considered among the best examples in the English language. Towards the end of his life, he began to write tragicomedies, also known as romance plays.
