The one with the girl doctor who heals the king and gets to pick whoever she wants for a husband, except that her chosen fella puts up a bit of a resistance. The Taming of the Dude.

If you ever feel bad about stealing a concept from a book youve read just remember shakespeare himself stole from the decameron and got away with it.

This isn't my favorite Shakespeare play I've read, but I enjoyed it! It had some particularly nice quotes. I did have a bit of trouble following the plot, so I wish I had read a summary beforehand to have a better grasp of the language, but that was my bad.

All's Well that Ends Well is dubbed 'a problem play' in the introduction, because it's neither tragedy, comedy nor history. However, the wordplay is so excellent, and the gender role reversals very interesting.

Full review to come soon.
