** Both Antipholuses are ready and willing to beat their servants (or the men they believe are their servants) when they're even the ''slightest'' bit annoyed with them, which was relatively acceptable and funny at the time they were written but is very uncomfortable to modern eyes. Today productions often try to decrease the awkwardness by letting the Dromios give as good as they get when it comes to blows, and in the Karamozov version the townspeople give Antipholus a CollectiveDeathGlare until he stops.
