read this for my creative writing class and although the essay i wrote on it was whatever, the actual in class dicussion was brilliant and adds a lot to the reading experience. Basically, read it with other people! Talk about it! Opinions on the characters and their motivations diverge A LOT. If you're also reading this for class, and/or need to do some analysis on this I have to recommend looking at 2 things: the role of gender/feminity, and the role of fate/the narrative as something almost conscious. Idk those are things I almost wrote my essay on so they seem worth looking into. First classical play/old timey book that's ever made me feel this unhinged in class, hats off for that
