    The writing style in both of the plays are different. Thats what seperates the comedies from the tragidies. Shakespeare had done this on purpose because it was meant to reach a certain audience. Back in his day, comedies were put on for the commoners and the tragides, or the more serious plays, were meant for the higher class.
    In Othello, the writing style is based on irony of all kinds. The language is more spohisticated and the characters are more elegant from their appearance to their speech. The situations are more catastrophic and the characters are more cunning.
    In the Comedy of Errors, the writing style is more fun and animated. There is always something that goes wrong throughout the whole story. They express their feelings to the other characters but they do it indirectly so they never get to the source of the situation.
