Like the ending of a mystery story, an enquiry enables the various threads of the story to be brought out and knotted together. The various characters reveal the secret information they have been hiding and gradually the whole picture becomes clear. The way Shakespeare does this is typical of his comedies, particularly those based on misunderstandings, such as The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, and most spectacularly, Cymbeline. It is another way in which Romeo and Juliet, although clearly a tragedy, is written using the conventions of comedy.
Did shakespeare write Cinderella?
No. None of Shakespeare's works are based on the Cinderella story. It was a folktale in France, but was never written down until Charles Perreault did in 1697, about 100 years after Shakespeare. It is possible and even likely that Shakespeare did not know the Cinderella story.Only two of Shakespeare's plays are not based closely on a previous play, story or history book.
