This is the play Shakespeare based The Comedy of Errors on. The Shakespeare version is much more sophisticated. but the mistaken identify is still fun here. In Menaechmi. there is only one set of twins though the slave is still important. One twin sets him free. but not the brother who really owns him. and that causes some of the ensuing confusion. The courtesan is a much bigger part. and the wife has a much smaller part. Indeed. Mrs. Menaechmus does not have a name. though her father-in-law does. One of the most striking things in comparing the two plays is how much more Shakespeares England respects women than Plautuss Rome. This is an easy-to-read source in translation. but it demonstrates that while Plautus is clever. Shakespeare is the master.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
