One of the more unique and creative methods is the use of mistaken identity.

The Taming of the Shrew: Mistaken Identity In Shakespeare's comedy, The Taming of the Shrew, one of the main ways that the theme is shown is by mistaken identity. The main theme of this play is that what a person is really like is more important than how they appear to be. This is shown by Petruchio's relationship with Katherine; the changing roles of Tranio, Lucentio, and Hortensio; and the true characters of Bianca and Katherine.

The characters with mistaken identity in plays such as “Oedipus the King” and “The Brothers Menaechmus” had very different outcomes.

We are all human beings, no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes no matter what age one is, personality, gender, we all make mistakes.

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so” – William Shakespeare Do you think mistakes are always bad? And it means you’re a failure? Mistakes aren’t always bad as we may think, they enlighten us and make us be stronger in the future to do better things in our lives.

This reminds us that Child is just at the beginning of a lifelong learning process. At this stage we all make mistakes. Mistaken behaviour is made up of three

Like its classical predecessors, The Comedy of Errors mixes farce and satire and (to a degree) presents us with stock characters. Besides being based on classical models, is it really fair to call The Comedy of Errors a serious play? I'm not sure it is.
