Not a huge fan of the Bard *gasp* shock horror and why the hell did dude just do a 180, 2 minutes before the end, there was practically 0 build or explanation for that tbh. But  Helena is cool and the Countess and the clown were freaking icons

Classified as one of Shakespeare's "problem plays," AWTEW is different because the woman is strong-willed and able to go after what she wants. She might be a "problem" for some of the men in the play, but she understands how to play to female stereotypes while also manipulating the situation. Even if her object of desire is not really worthy of her sharp wit, she is definitely a woman to be admired.

While this was not my favorite, I did still enjoy this book for the change in power dynamics as a female character actually does hold some modicum of power over a man.

This one was very fun to read! I'm glad to be continuing my Shakespeare education now that I'm done with my minor!
