I love that "two stars keep not their motion in one sphere" is the Shakespearean version of "this town ain't big enough for the two of us"

一直认为莎士比亚很厌女,这部算是厌女的小巅峰吧。

Probably not a fan of Shakespeare's historical plays.

Falstaff > the 2 Henrys not gonna lie... the son was kinda just motivated by like "wow I'm gonna be so cool when I'm king!" and the dad is just... not good at being king...

I’ve started some of the histories off recommendations. I enjoyed it a lot more than I imagined I would. I’m planning to start part 2 soon so I can find out what happens.

I feel like I enjoyed the first part much more than this second part, but I also many be realizing that the comedies and tragedies are much more suited for me than histories.

After doing some research I found that Part 2 is not as popular as Part 1, so now I understand why.
