This is a really confusing story like you have to concentrate when you're reading it.

This is another Folger Shakespeare Library edition, with its its useful prefatory information on the language of Shakespeare, a brief summery of his life, background of the play, and theater life in Shakespeare's time.

Egeon, an old merchant from Syracuse, and his wife Aemilia had twin sons, both named Antipholus and provided with twin slaves, both named Dromio. Because of a shipwreck, the members are separated, Egeon taking with him to Syracuse a son (Antipholus of Syracuse) and one Dromio, Aemilia taking with her to Ephesus one Antipholus (Antipholus of Ephesus) and one Dromio
When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities ensues, thus the comedy of errors.
This comedy of errors leads to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and false accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession. It gets really confusing at times, at least it did for me.

In some respects, this is a late sixteenth century sit-com.
This play, unlike most other plays of Shakespeare, Hamlet does not seem to have any memorable lines or phrases.

This is not the best of Shakespeare. It's a quick read, and it's cute, but I understand why this isn't a play that's taught much in schools.
