Si les œuvres de Shakespeare sont encore lues 400 plus tard, c’est qu’il y a une raison

So many unlikeable characters but a lovely plot. Ariel ... there's a place in my heart just for you.

It wasn’t bad, but it also didn’t do everything I wanted it to do

I just couldn’t stand any of the parts where it was just drunken banter. It was incredibly obnoxious. I did love Ariel though, what a baddie.

Wow this is a complicated play. If this is your first time reading Shakespeare, stop now and come back once you've read a few.

This was rather mild for a Shakespeare play. While I can't aver that I understood every pun and allusion in the play I did enjoy it. It's amazing how a play existing almost on dialogue alone can convey such vivid images.

O brave new world, which has such people in it indeed!

Just sang Ariel’s song to the tune of You Belong With Me in front of my cohort :’) A quieter story than I think the title suggests but a good one nonetheless.
