Review of 'Comedy of Errors (Wordsworth Classics)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
My first proper meeting with the bard! I started out reading it, armed up with a dictionary and a healthy dose of motivation, but after a couple of pages, I realized that i took the entire fun out of reading the play. Guessing on the (to me) foreign words based on the context, worked well enough for me to read it as any other play - though I am certain that I missed some puns and comical points because of it.
The play itself is a farcial comedy, where two sets of twins both are seperated at birth, causing confusion when they end up in the same city. This confusion is at times hilarious, though Shakespeare could have gone even further with it to make it even more funny.
