I didn't truly sympathise with/care about any of the characters; but I did have moments, some longer than the others, where I did find myself understanding them and their motivations and maybe sympathising just a little bit. I think that's what made this so enjoyable for me - the shifting sympathies and complex characters that were very fickle and very very bloodthirsty (Cornwall and Goneril, I'm looking at you two. DAMN).

Having read and listened to the play earlier this year makes finishing this one unrealistic at least for 2024 and that's fine!!! I really really enjoyed the introduction and the information it contained though so it's definitely one to revisit
