Arthur Asa Berger’s Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors uses semiotics along with a psychoanalytic approach to offer a granular analysis of one of Shakespeare’s funniest and most interesting comedies.
It is distinctive in that it offers a discussion of the basic techniques found in comic literature of all kinds and applies these techniques to events in the play. It also offers a discussion of the basic theories of humor and a syntagmatic and paradigmatic analysis of the play.
