When it comes to Shakespeare dramas this was definitely an enjoyable one. The plot deals with important topics and needs to be interpreted based on contemporary social norms and beliefs. 

cattytrona's review against another edition

obviously ofc the only way to appreciate a play is to watch it live. but i also think slowly agonisingly reading it over several weeks of class before the age of 18 is also a key element of really grooving with a shakespeare. anyway i just engaged with this one for the first time in my life by reading it at the age 26.
