Came for Shakespeare's language, stayed for the complex and fulfilling plot.

In my opinion, the last act was amazing. Really summed up every characters’ arcs and made me feel for them. I enjoyed this one, but not quite a 5-star play for me.

William Shakespeare is the king of moral plays, he got his own way in mixing archaic and fashioned language that gives his point it's fancy hearing and worthy meaning.
Like always it's full of lovely quotes, and beyond his main moral he gave us another one so I choose this rhymed one;

"The weight of this sad time we must obey,
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
The oldest hath borne most:
we that are young
Shall never see so much,
nor live so long."
