His best play? Ideally see it and then read it but it’s so so good.
Moderate: Sexism
There isn’t a content warning tag for sexual coercion but I think that’s what this would come under.espresoul's review against another edition

Not Shakespeare’s best but not his worst

This play was actually hilarious, and should be read by everyone.

dangerously self-aware, a parodic number though perhaps not so slyly as a certain other text I'm reading,, in a way Measure dares you to like it. a sadistic comedy , transported to the hobbesian world
this is really banal but it just reads so well , so airy , maybe I just feel spoiled bc I've been trying to scan big chunky proust sentences

One of my favorites from Shakespeare, I think it has so many relevant ties to the present moment. I find new ones every time I read it
