Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare

Observed some great scenes from this in acting class and was immediately compelled to come home and read it with Arrow. Had a lot of fun with it, it’s definitely a quirky one that inspires a lot of interesting discussion.

I don’t know, it’s just not my vibe, and I have to be deciphering all this old English half the time, so I’m thinking about giving it another go when I grow up or give up entirely.

Glad I read it, not sure I liked it. The end irritated me.

"Our doubts are traitors / And make us lose the good we oft might win, / By fearing to attempt.
