( Act 3, Scene 1.)
S h ak esp eare’s C om edies
Shakespeare’s com edies did not establish a lasting tradition in 
the theatre, as did those written by Ben Jonson. Jonson’s plays


portray the everyday life o f their time with the exaggerated satirical 
characters. Shakespeare’s com edies are composed on opposite 
principles. The scenes o f his com edies are usually set in some 
imaginary country, and the action is based on stories that are almost 
fairy-tails. But the characters, placed in these non-realistic settings 
and plots, are true-to-life and are depicted with the deep knowledge 
o f human psychology for which Shakespeare is famous. Each 
comedy has the main plot and one or two sub-plots, and sometimes 
sub-plots attract even more attention than the main plots. The 
com ic characters o f these plays always have English colouring, 
even if the scene is laid in other countries.
All these plays are written in easy-flow ing verse and light, 
tripping prose. The text is full o f jokes and puns, but some o f the 
texts contain topical allusions, which are hard to understand for 
the readers o f our time. All the com edies tell o f love and harmony, 
at first disturbed, and finally restored. In them Shakespeare 
supports the right o f a human being to free choice in love, despite 
the existing conventions and customs. More often Shakespeare 
em bodies this tendency in female characters. His typical com edy 
heroines are brave, noble, free in speech, and enthusiastic.
Another m otif stressed in the com edies is the contrast between 
appearance and reality. Shakespeare makes his readers understand
