A Midsummer Night's Dream: The Oxford Shakespeare a Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

Re-read as course prep. I still love this one. I keep expecting to find that I've "outgrown it" or some such nonsense but nah, it's still excellent.

a great farcical comedy that displays a surprising level of sophistication and wit and is playfully metatextual in its matryoshka structure (solely in terms of five-act plot construction, this may well be one of shakespeare's most radically experimental works). no idea how i hadn't read this yet, but it's a really light and witty entry in the bard's oeuvre, one that i can see remaining endlessly entertaining upon a reread.
also got to see this performed at the globe which is actually the main reason i read it to begin with, but no regrets both ways. it stages as hilariously as it reads.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

A cute and simple version of the play that children (elementary age) can understand and enjoy. Beautiful artwork as well.

por qué nadie me dijo que las comedias de shakespeare son básicamente telenovelas con lenguaje del siglo XVI las hubiera leído mucho antes ✋

I was really enjoying it until we got to the final act where they did a bad performance of pyramus and thisbe, which made me feel bored
