My first of Shakespeare’s comedies and I definitely enjoyed it but it just didn’t draw me in as much as I have been with the tragedies I’ve read.

This is more like what I expected [b:Macbeth|8852|Macbeth|William Shakespeare|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1438353902s/8852.jpg|1896522] to be like: quicker-paced with more drama.

i havent read this play since i skimmed it for my college shakespeare class and to be honest it kind of bored me. I definitely prefer shakespeares tragedies to the comedies but even those are preferable to the histories.

jak zawsze pięknie napisane z niesamowitym wpływem na całą historię literatury, ale zbyt rasistowskie i monarchistyczne do zdzierżenia
