When it comes to Shakespeare dramas this was definitely an enjoyable one. The plot deals with important topics and needs to be interpreted based on contemporary social norms and beliefs.

obviously ofc the only way to appreciate a play is to watch it live. but i also think slowly agonisingly reading it over several weeks of class before the age of 18 is also a key element of really grooving with a shakespeare. anyway i just engaged with this one for the first time in my life by reading it at the age 26.

Jag gillar det här, det innehåller både lite hederliga prinsessor, desperata friare och onda människor. Skulle kunna bli en bra Disney-film fast då utan pantsatta kilon kött ur den egna kroppen och liknande saker. Egentligen är intrigen fantastisk och man får gärna tänka lite på den religiösa aspekten i historien. de kristna får ju inte driva en bank vilket judarna däremot får och för det beskylls de för att vara giriga.
