Comedies: William Shakespeare

The pen of the great English playwright William Shakespeare belongs to more than ten comedies. Their plots are different, but there is something in common in them – an unrestrained fun, sometimes interspersed with sadness, and outstanding heroes who are related by the will, a sharp mind, the desire for independence and crushing their vitality. These are romantic fairy tales, and charming adventures, comedies of positions and grotesque fables. But the most interesting thing in them is the image of the quirks of the human heart, what can be called the oddities of love. We hope that the charm of the Shakespearean verse and the grace of his witty prose will not leave the reader indifferent this time.
