3.5
The 4th Shakespeare play I’ve read overall.
I had moments where I had to keep re-reading some scenes as I was confused on what was happening. When reading Hamlet or Othello, I was easy to visualize but this one was harder. Too many characters? The trio of groups all in the same scene? Primarily, my confusion came from the faeries and their issue/quarrels. What happened tothe Indian boy and why was he important ?
I did some deep dive afterwards and seeing paintings and some illustrations made everything click. Now I gotta watch the play. Overall, good for what it is.
