Compared to reading the text alone, it was more interesting to consider this play in terms of Shakespeare's overall canon. In my opinion, this work wasn't as strong as some of the other Shakespeare that I've read; Rosalind is a standout character though. As a minor note, I'd still really like to know where the title "As You Like It" comes from.

How many times will I read this text this term? Only time will tell.
Update: read twice so far. Students enjoyed it but not as much as they did when we read Othello. Can’t blame em.
