After Antipholus of Ephesus found his long lost brother, he went on a journey unlike the most extravagant. He “went” on a journey to Greece and Mecca, Islam’s holiest city located in present-day Saudi Arabia. A new brother brought him not only a new singing, but a rich life. Ships filled with expensive jewelry and objects clustered his mind in a relaxing, nonchalant way. Newspapers went all over town describing his rare story, making him and his brother extremely famous. This fame and enrichment created a luxurious trip to the holy city of Mecca and Athens, Greece as a celebration with all his friends and family. While on their way to Mecca, they come across a town where the most romantic men and women live.

This so-called “town of the rich and stunning” made people faint and beg all day long to be led to this town. Adriana, who “is” the husband of Antipholus of Ephesus, was very absent minded about this whole experience and wealth. She couldn’t stand the new lifestyle they are living in, due to the not so exciting adventures she had to go through during the events of the Comedy of Errors. In Antipholus’s eyes, this was a jackpot for love. He was also sick of Adriana, refusing to let go of the past and go on with the future. Anyway, the whole family stops at this town while on camels to get a sweet glance . Well it turns out, a sweet glance turned into a sweet vacation with both husband and wife leaving with a new wife and husband for each other. Plot twists are not spotted early on in the story, they happen at the end of the story.
