IntroductionExoticism is the essential part of Shakespeare's romantic comedy. In fact, the word "exotic" was first used in 1599 to mean "alien, introduced from abroad, not indigenous." In 1651 its meaning was extended to include "an exotic and foreign territory", "an exotic habit and behavior" (OED). As a noun, the term meant "an unacclimated foreign plant." Over the course of the nineteenth century, however, the exotic or foreign increasingly acquired, throughout the empire, the connotations of a stimulating or exciting difference, something with which the domestic could be (safely) seasoned (Ashcroft et al. , 2004: 94). The key concept here is the introduction of the exotic from abroad into the national economy. Exotics are the significant part of imperial displays of power and the fullness of empires. Furthermore, the term "exoticism" includes remote or distant settings, high imagination and improbability, land of love, deception, master-slave relationship, singing and music, and various romantic and comic atmospheres. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is a playwright who successfully uses the term “exoticism” in his romantic comedies. Thus, Shakespeare's The Tempest and Twelfth Night are plays that abound in various exotic elements. Shakespeare skillfully handles these exotic elements to create romantic comedies. This article is about the exotic setting of The Tempest and Twelfth Night and its relevance to romantic comedies.
