- W2476522603 abstract "The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare’s most wholehearted evocation and celebration of bourgeois life. The Merry Wives of Windsor might reasonably be seen as a competitor, but that play is not, like Errors, thoroughly committed to the evocation of a commercial and urban context. Closer in time and spirit to Errors, The Taming of the Shrew evokes a bourgeois context, but does not seem especially interested in it, and Shrew, of course, evokes other contexts as well (a very grand aristocratic household in the ‘induction’; a mid-level gentry country household after the wedding). There is no representation whatever of aristocratic life in Errors; the duke in the play is, as we shall see, a figure conceived in terms of juridical rather than social status, and his initial presentation in the play is as participating in (something like) a trade-war. Errors gives us, uniquely, a world of merchants — every one of whom is honest, generous, and admirable. There is not a single lie, deception, crooked or devious business dealing in the play. Contracts are honored, and it is a matter of shame not to do so. Money in the play is neither filthy nor corrupting. No one is self-conscious about it and no one is greedy. It is taken as perfectly normal not to cheat and to expect not be cheated. If there is a play by Shakespeare that shows us people fully and happily at home in an urban, commercial world, it is The Comedy of Errors." @default.
