I read this at school when I was about 15 as "an introduction to Shakespeare". No analysis of the text or anything, just to get a feel for 'aul Billy's words. I really liked it.
This is my favourite Shakespeare play and I adore Beatrice and Benedict. I've seen the Kenneth Branagh movie at least 15 times, but this was my first time reading the text. Since English is not my first language, reading Shakespeare is always hard, so having seen it first definitely helps with reading comprehension. It's a lot easier to understand the characters when you hear them say the words than when you're reading them with the original spelling.
A delightful romp. Who doesn’t love enemies to lovers? Especially when it results in a back and forth of witty japes.
