The omissions and changes Shakespeare made from Plautus's plot are almost as important in lending his Play a new effect as the additions and entirely original inventions.
The Comedy of Errors, founded upon Plautus's Mænechmi. Much Ado About Nothing, a Comedy; for the plot see Ariosto's Orlando Furioso. Love's Labour Lost, a Comedy. Midsummer's Night's Dream, a Comedy. The Merchant of Venice, a Tragi-Comedy. As you Like it, a Comedy. The Taming of a Shrew, a Comedy. All's Well that Ends Well. The Twelfth-Night, or What you Will, a Comedy.
The types of character found in these comedies strengthened my conviction that the motives of human actions and the mental and emotional peculiarities of civilized men in every age always have been and always will be the same. With what pleasure, when again permitted to go out in the evening, I witnessed the performances of Plautus's pieces given by Professor Geppert's pupils!
