Mistaken identity plays a huge role in this play and causes all of the mayhem.
Antipholus of
Syracuse and
Ephesus, twin
brothers separated
at birth, wind up at
the same place
many years later
causing the
brother’s spouses,
servants and
friends to be in
confusion thus
adding comic
entertainment.

"Methinks you are my glass, and not my brother:
I see by you I am a sweet-fac'd youth;"
-Dromio E. (5.1)
“We came into the world
like brother and brother;
And now let's go hand in
hand, not one before
another."
- Dromio E. - 5.1

In this play the character Viola
wears men’s clothing causing
her to be confused for her brother
Sebastian. Meanwhile,
Sebastian is mistaken for a girl,
thus heightening the conflict
and causing drama and humor
to be prevalent.

Only when the two characters come together in front of everyone as
their true selves does the situation become solved.
“Foolery, sir,
does walk about the
orb like the sun; it shines
everywhere.”
~Act III Scene 1
“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and
some have greatness thrust upon 'em.”
~Act II Scene 5
In A Midsummer
Night’s Dream, when
Oberon tells Puck to
put love potion on the
Athenian youth, he
mistakes the identity
and puts it on the
wrong youth. This
causes Lysander to
change the object of
his love from Hermia
to Helena.

“The course of true love
never did run smooth.”
~Lysander Act 1.1
“Love looks not with the
eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd
Cupid painted blind.”
~Hermia Act 1.1

Mistaken Identity does not
play a major role in
Taming of the Shrew, but
is prevalent when all of
Bianca’s suitors try to win
her affection. Some dress
up as scholars, switch
places with their servants,
and act as Latin and
music teachers.

"Forward, I pray, since we have come so far,
And be it moon, or sun, or what you please.
And if you please to call it a rush candle,
Henceforth I vow it shall be so for me."

“What, is the jay more precious than the lark,
Because his feathers are more beautiful?”
~Act 4.3
