Publisher's Synopsis

Four Comedies of William Shakespeare is a collection of four of Shakespeare's most popular and beloved comedies: A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, and As You Like It. These plays are known for their witty dialogue, intricate plots, and memorable characters. A Midsummer Night's Dream tells the story of four young lovers who become entangled in a magical forest. The Merchant of Venice is a tale of love and revenge in which a merchant must pay a hefty price for borrowing money from a Jewish moneylender. Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy in which a woman disguises herself as a man and falls in love with her employer. As You Like It is a pastoral comedy in which a young woman flees her oppressive uncle's court and finds love and freedom in the forest. Together, these four plays showcase Shakespeare's mastery of comedic storytelling and his ability to create characters that continue to captivate audiences centuries later.Content yourself. God knows I lov'd my niece; And she is dead, slander'd to death by villains, That dare as well answer a man indeed As I dare take a serpent by the tongue.
