The Comedy of Errors

The Comedy of Errors is one of the earliest known slapstick comedies. The central theme of the play revolves around mistaken identities of twins. The Comedy of Errors exclusively focuses on entertainment, unlike other Shakespeare plays which reflect on serious issues. Here are some quotes from the play The Comedy of Errors.

Act II, Sc. II
Every why hath a wherefore.

Act I, Sc. I
The pleasing punishment that women bear.

Act II, Sc. I
A wretched soul, bruised with adversity.

Act III, Sc. I
Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.

Act V, Sc. I
One pinch, a hungry lean-faced villain,
A mere anatomy.

Act V, Sc. I
A needy, hollow-eyed, sharp-looking wretch,
A living-dead man.
