A review by gretelchen
Love's Labor's Lost by William Shakespeare

4.0

Lovely, gorgeous language, albeit it can be easy to get lost. Plus, a play with a whopping four great female characters? Yes! Plus the problem in Shakespeare's comedies (or one of them) for modern readers is that the male lover roles can be huge jerks and usually get away scot-free or with only a slap on the wrist. Here, they are questioned and held accountable. A bittersweet ending as well, unusual for a comedy, with a promise of reunion rather than jumping down the aisle to get married right away.
