German Die Irrungen, oder die Doppelten Zwillinge Translation of: The Comedy of Errors Wikipedia page about this book: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Kom%C3%B6die_der_Irrungen This book content was graciously contributed by the Gutenberg Projekt-DE "Die Irrungen, oder die doppelten Zwillinge" by William Shakespeare is a comedic play written during the late 16th century. The story revolves around themes of mistaken identity and the chaos that ensues when two sets of twins, separated at birth, inadvertently collide in the city of Ephesus, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and confounding interactions. The central characters include Aegeon, a father in search of his lost sons, and the twins, Antipholis of Ephesus and Antipholis of Syracuse, along with their respective servants, Dromio of Ephesus and Dromio of Syracuse. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Aegeon, who is sentenced to death for violating the law against Syracusians in Ephesus. He pleads for mercy and recounts his tragic past, which includes being separated from his wife Aemilia and their twin sons during a shipwreck. While Aegeon narrates his tale, we also meet Antipholis of Syracuse, who has come to Ephesus to search for his brother. The opening sets the stage for humor and confusion, as the two sets of twins, each unaware of the other's existence, begin to navigate their entangled fates in this bustling city. The tone is light-hearted, full of witty exchanges and the promise of farcical scenarios as mistaken identities unfold. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
