casparb's review against another edition
dangerously self-aware, a parodic number though perhaps not so slyly as a certain other text I'm reading,, in a way Measure dares you to like it. a sadistic comedy , transported to the hobbesian world
this is really banal but it just reads so well , so airy , maybe I just feel spoiled bc I've been trying to scan big chunky proust sentences

One of my favorites from Shakespeare, I think it has so many relevant ties to the present moment. I find new ones every time I read it

I love this play so much. I have read it so many times. It has one of the most fucked up endings in all of Shakespeare. It is one of the most relevant of his plays today. I love how he tackles devotion, capital punishment, hypocrisy, and the plight of women. So much to say.
