I love this play and will probably reread it many more times!
Favourite quote on this re-read: Antonio to Viola/Cesario (mistaken for Sebastian): “There is no blemish in nature but the mind: None can be called deformed, but the unkind.” It resonated with me as a disabled person.

First read through: 3/5
While it was totally confusing to read, I did love the story and the general cleverness of Shakespeare (there was one line in particular that used some metahumor, but I'm struggling to find it now). Plus, it made for great discussion at the St. John's Summer Academy, which I attended last week. The whole plot reminded me of one of those sitcom episodes where everyone makes different assumptions about what's going on and ends up coming to a head a few minutes before the end when they realize they were all totally wrong.
Second read through: 4/5
