This carefully crafted ebook: “The Complete Comedies of William Shakespeare” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The plays of Shakespeare that are usually categorised as comedies are generally identifiable as the comedies of Shakespeare in that they are full of fun, irony and dazzling wordplay. They also abound in disguises and mistaken identities with very convoluted plots that are difficult to follow, with very contrived endings. A Shakespearean comedy is one that has a happy ending, usually involving marriages between the unmarried characters, and a tone and style that is more light-hearted than Shakespeare's other plays. Patterns in the comedies include movement to a "green world", both internal and external conflicts, and a tension between Apollonian and Dionysian values. Table of Contents: All’s Well That Ends Well As You Like It The Comedy Of Errors Love’s Labour’s Lost Measure For Measure The Merchant Of Venice The Merry Wives Of Windsor A Midsummer Night’s Dream Much Ado About Nothing Pericles Prince Of Tyre The Taming Of The Shrew The Tempest Twelfth Night Or, What You Will The Two Gentlemen Of Verona The Two Noble Kinsmen The Winter’s Tale William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is uncertain.
