초록

The Comedy of Errors has been regarded as inherently disjunctive with its disparate sources, Pauline and Plautine, and its generic mixture of romance and farce. This paper examines how the play appropriates the contemporary disease discourses to represent the domestic and global trade in nascent capitalist England. The diverse approaches to diseases in the early modern period, including conventional humoralism and newly introduced contagion theory, provided a useful frame of reference to formulate characters’ diverse confusion. The Comedy of Errors stresses that “some love that drew him oft from home” can be gluttonous and syphilitic because it exposes the bodies both to the interior disorder from excessive appetite and the contagion as exterior invasion, making them chaotic and strumpeted. Employing amphibolous puns, pointing to the corporeal and the commercial at the same time, The Comedy of Errors articulated the mystery of trade in advance of the vocabulary’s development.
