Aegon, a merchant from Syracuse, had a wife named Amelia and they were deeply in love and joyful in each other’s presence and life until Aegon’s manager passed on to the afterlife and Aegon was forced to leave their home and go to Epidamnum. There, they had two children, twin boys that looked exactly alike to each other.
In the same inn that the two twin boys were born, there was another couple, much poorer and worse off than Aegon and Amelia who also birthed two twin boys and they were so poor and destitute that they decided to sell their two sons to the richer couple as slaves. Aegon and Amelia accepted and purchased the two boys before leaving on a ship back to Syracuse, where they were from.
Unfortunately, the ship was damaged and started to leak, so the crew abandoned it and their passengers were left for dead. They strapped themselves to the masts of the ship and in this way they survived the sinking of the ship, but unfortunately, they were separated with one of their sons and one of the other children floating away with Amelia and the same happening with Aegon.
Amelia and the children were saved by the people of Epidamnum, but the children were stolen from her and she was forced to return to Epidamnum alone and depressed, wallowing in despair. She later settled in a city called Ephesus.
Aegon was more fortunate and made it back to their home in Syracuse with the children where he raised them until they were eighteen, though he lamented the loss of his wife and son. He named his son Antipholus of Syracuse and the slave Dromio of Syracuse which was quite the coincidence because the other set of children were given the same names elsewhere.
At the age of eighteen, Antipholus of Syracuse was consumed with the desire to find his long-lost brother and so he set off in search of him. When Antipholus of Syracuse left Aegon could no longer stand to remain in his home and so he left to travel as well for the next five years before making his way to Ephesus. Unfortunately, the Duke of Syracuse was treating Ephesians so poorly that Aegon was arrested as soon as he arrived in Ephesus and threatened with death unless he paid 1,000 pounds before the day was over.
It turns out that the children that were taken from Amelia were actually citizens of Ephesus and were called Antipholus of Ephesus and Dromio of Ephesus respectively.
Even more, coincidentally, Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio of Syracuse arrived in Ephesus on the same day that Aegon did and escaped being placed under arrest by claiming to be from Epidamnum. Antipholus of Syracuse sent Dromio of Syracuse to place his money at the Centaur Inn and stay there until Antipholus came to get him.
Ten minutes later, Antipholus of Syracuse met Dromio of Ephesus and demanded to know why he wasn’t at the Centaur Inn. Dromio of Ephesus had been looking for Antipholus of Ephesus at the behest of Antipholus of Ephesus’s wife and so delivered the message that Antipholus should return to a house called The Phoenix and then ran away to avoid a beating.
Antipholus of Syracuse did not heed Dromio of Ephesus and instead returned to the Centaur Inn to check on his money. When he left the inn he was approached by two sisters by the names of Adriana and Luciana. Adriana was Antipholus of Ephesus’s wife and she was convinced that Antipholus was running off with another woman and chastised him for pretending not to know who she was.
Antipholus of Syracuse was confused but followed her when she demanded that he come back to The Phoenix to have dinner and explain himself.
While Antipholus of Syracuse was inside eating dinner with Adriana and Luciana, Antipholus of Ephesus and Dromio of Ephesus were outside attempting to gain entrance to their home but were denied entry by Dromio of Syracuse.
Antipholus of Ephesus was so irritated by the actions of his wife that he decided to give a golden chain that he had commissioned for her to another lady.
Antipholus of Syracuse was quite taken with Luciana and attempted to woo her, though she instead reported his “disloyalty” to Adriana who then spoke badly of him. Antipholus of Syracuse was then visited by Angelo the goldsmith who had been commissioned by Antipholus of Ephesus to make the golden chain spoken of earlier. He gave the chain to Antipholus of Syracuse and then left.
Later, Angelo had no money when he encountered a creditor, but was glad to see Antipholus of Ephesus stepping out of a nearby building. Unfortunately, Antipholus of Ephesus never received the chain and so refused to pay his debt. In response, Angelo told the creditors that he was lying and the debt fell to Antipholus. Antipholus of Ephesus was then approached by Dromio of Syracuse and told that his goods were shipped successfully and the winds looked good. Antipholus of Ephesus did not understand these words so he ignored them and commanded Dromio of ...
"The two Dromios were simply glad to not be receiving any more beatings." 😂😂😂
Angoor movie brought me here 😂😂😂😂
So confusing! 😂
I agree! I just watched the play at a local tavern playhouse. I’ve never been more confused.
Yes😕🖖🏻
I saw it live once and I don't get it. We should have each twin wear a different color shirt 👕 or something we know who is who.
@@sbergman0894 Try having to perform it! I’m Adriana in my school production of a comedy of errors now and it’s really hard😅
My brain hurts
Quality parenting naming your two twins the same name
This the most confusing lesson on earth 😪
Someone going mad is such a common trope in Shakespeare plays.
A piece of jewelry or a personal artifact is such a common plot piece in many Shakespeare plays. A pearl in Twelfth Night, a candle and handkerchief in Othello, dagger in MacBeth
Wow.. this is such a well summarised and pleasing work.
We just posted a video highlighting the words Shakespeare invented. Like in The Comedy of Errors, Act 5 Scene 1, when HURRY appears for the first time! Please watch on our channel when you have a moment. Thank you!
@@brain-drain most definitely.
Gaslighting 101
Poor Dromios!!!
The last line😂
I feel very confused
About to do this show at school, I'm playing Adriana, is it a problem that I don't understand the show
love the creative drawings hehe
Two twins is four people.
Fairly certain that the ship didn't look like that except for the rest of this video I'm going to pass
More like a comedy of confusion.
I love this story❤
Why is it sooooooooo confusing for me 😂
i swear, my brain is about to explode
I don’t.. get it
Why is Angelo drawn so differently?
Madness. Another common sp trope.
so is this the whole book or just act 1?
Hey bro can you start making these videos for enid blytons series like

Don't follow it exactly.
This is about an alliance that is based on the hope nobody understands how long it has been going.
Or when it will end.
The end is what everyone depends on.
It's confusing 😶
Well explained
confusion too much
Poor. Can't keep up with the different colors.
"Ephesus" should be accented on the first syllable, and all the vowels are short. It is a real city, with considerable importance to Christianity.
sounds like faeces
@@harshityadavCamper true
Why they put their names like this 😖
because they want too?
Literal wtf?
That’s dope if you were broke you could just sell your kids. I do that with my cats. If anyone wants some hit me up.
You mispronounced so many things I shut the video off after a minute.
So rude ....at least he/she worked so had to make this kind of confusing story easy to understand
I understood everything they said. It is not about the pronunciation of the story we should look at , we should look at the meaning of the story.Also different people have different accent but the main thing is to understand what they are saying. That is all we need and that is why we have a language.
