Shakespearean Comedies

These are all of the comedies that Shakespeare introduced to the well needed comedy world. Comedies are drama in which life is viewed or treated humorously. A Shakespeare comedy is mostly about a mistaken identities or a person that loves somebody that loves somebody else that loves another person. For example: This is a part from Twelfth Night: Olivia comes out and starts telling Sebastian she wants to marry him because she thinks he is Cesario. Cesario is actually Sebastians twin sister dressed as a man named Viola. Viola loves the Duke, who she works for. The duke thinks Viola is a man and loves Olivia who loves Cesario who is really Viola, Sebastians twin sister. As you can see Shakespeare's comedies are very funny with all of the mix ups. In comedies there are jesters that are fools.
