The Comedy of Errors - Fingerprint [Paperback] WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

SHAKESPEAREN COMEDY . JUST AWESOME. IT WAS MY FIRST BOOK OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. IT WAS IN ALL WAYS EPIC.

I knew 30 years ago in college that I shouldn't sell my Shakespeare books back..so buying these individuals-and at such an extremely low price!-was a great buy

Some plays of Shakespeare are meant to be read. Few patrons of the arts are able to truly enjoy the full four hour production of Hamlet. Moreover, many of the soliloquies are more powerful in the reading and rereading then in listening to them on a distant stage. A Comedy of Errors is not on one of them. It’s not just that it lacks the sublime quality of Hamlet or Lear, it’s that most of the laughs are in the slapstick humor of two sets of identical twins being confused with one another. The humor depends upon the actors displaying increasing frustration and perplexity leading to a spontaneous release of joy when the errors are revealed. The written word cannot do the play the credit it deserves. So while a good edition can help one sort out the major characters and wordplay it doesn’t make for a completely satisfying experience. Recommended with caution.

Cover is good. Quality of pages is average and print is also nice according to price. Must buy if you read William Shakespeare

Good book
