I mean I can sure see its relevance as one of the first pieces of drama we have record of, not to mention the whole Freudian aspect, but the story itself...is not...great. I didn't really like Shakespeare in school and I would love to give him another try, but this is "what if Shakespeare was obscenely archaic and the total play consisted of 3 conversations between characters".

It certainly picked up a bit in the last third or so, I guess?
