i found it a bit boring to read, also a little harder to get into. i think it‘s more interesting studying it than reading it.

It is the 3rd edition of this book that I've read. I love this play. It has so many layers and diverse characters. I love how many different themes it has.

This is actually my second time reading this play, and both times I find it to be meh... I just think it could have benefited if the play was longer. However, I don't particularly care. It was overall fine, but nothing to sing about (at least in my opinion)

So I read this because I am in it haha, but it was re-read and I enjoyed it a lot. The tempest is such a unique and visceral piece of Shakespearian literature. The dynamic between Ariel and Prospero has always fascinated me but I found myself really drawn to the Caliban and Miranda dynamic upon this re-read. This is totally a good place to begin with Shakespeare and I highly enjoyed it :)
