Informal Theme 2.5

Not an inch of confusion is funny, Shakespeare.

First of all I want to tell you that this piece of art by William Shakespeare really messed with my mind. I mean of all literally pieces in the world why do this Comedy of Errors that happened to be included on what we're taking up because it is one of the Shakespearean masterpieces, also happened to be reported by our group. What? I mean, why? My mouth was dry and turned really speechless the moment I learned about that. By the way, I screwed up on my own report because I lack of public speaking confidence when everyone is trying to pay attention, most likely my teacher. Back to what I'm saying, Comedy of Errors is, in superlative degree, really confusing.

Though considered as Shakespeare's shortest play, Comedy of Errors would, in it's most unique way, bug your mind and capture yourself to where the story is going on. The story happened at Ephesus when Egeon was arrested because no people from Syracuse must be found in the territorial land of Ephesus. By then he was asked why he was there so with grief, he hold forth the fate of his family and the two pairs of twins. The play had a lot of twist and turns of errors and mishaps until everyone of them realized that they were interacting with different persons with the same faces, which are the fateful twins.

As what I've said earlier, we were the reporters of Comedy of Errors and I'll give you a short narration about it. Reporting started and Igi was the one who reported first. I just took pictures and videos by that time. I don’t really know but I’m still confused with the story because I just read the story flatly and I didn't care much about the characters, which was the reason why the story got complicated and comedic at the same time. Johnmike followed for the character study as well as Airah Jean for the plot summary. My turn was getting near but I wasn't bothered a lot because questions flew like butterflies in the air. I reported on the second day and I solemnly swear I was a mess and I got something like an audience fright or something like that. I hope I will not report any more for anything ever again. We let our classmates watch some parts of the videos we've downloaded.

I think Comedy of  Errors wants us to know that if we keep calm in general, we might find out what is really happening around. I also think that that is what Shakespeare's reason why he wrote such mind flapping piece. Anyways, I know that there are a lot more of moral and values one might find in this play and I'll leave the rest of it for him.
