The audience can clearly recognize that the characters belong together and look forward to the moment when the characters realize this for themselves. The ups and downs in the time between the characters' denial and the realization of their love are the comic gold Shakespeare plays with. When examining the two plays, it becomes clear that there are many similarities between the character types. Both works feature love-struck couples, the concerned father and, of course, the mischievous character. Its mischievous characters plot against other characters and use minions to carry out their plans. Shakespeare uses these characteristics of a mischievous character to develop the character of the main antagonists and to make them stand out from the beginning of the story.
