Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

O, my old master! Who hath bound him here?


Dromio of Syracuse

The Comedy of Errors       Act V, Scene i, Line 339


Okay, last act and scene of the play. Here is where everyone figures out who everyone is. 

This is Dromio of Syracuse talking to Aegeon who is being led away as a prisoner. Remember, Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse were raised by Ageon before they took off to search for the other Dromio and Antipholus, so of course they're going to recognize him when they see him. Now finally, here in the last scene, line 339 (the play ends with line 426) they come across Aegeon, and a few lines further down, the mother they haven’t seen in I don’t know how many years. 

It all gets tied up with a nice pretty bow; kind of like a Hallmark Christmas movie.


Hallmark Chris....

This is making absolutely no sense at all to me.  How about you?
