Really enjoyed the mix of revenge and comedy in this play: it's immensely unconventional, but it's a risk that works quite a bit. However, Shakespeare cannot lean fully into either genre, meaning that some of each genre's aspects have to be tamed, which means the play is a tad more muddled. Overall, though, I thought it was very good!
