women supporting women but the support is for a dubiously consensual marriage...men calling each other 'sweetheart' but the 'sweetheart' in question is a classist lying hypocrite...penguin introduction went off calling it a fairytale that keeps exposing its own fallacies. shakespeare's take on the 'every character is some flavour of unlikeable' litfic trope crossed with a 17th century roast session, because shakespeare's humour never fails.
love the countess she should've been a lesbian. parolles funny as hell sometimes you just need to see an annoying white gay lose horrendously in life. helen reverse-reverse gone girl (i have never read gone girl in my life) with some very mixed characterisation. also the references encoded in her name and diana's were clever i see you shakespeare. also also the parallel/juxtaposition between helena paling and bertram blushing in guilt was fun too. who's left ummm guy playing lafew in the globe production was good i liked his decision to belt out every single one of his lines. this clown is the funniest stock clown archetype i've seen yet. bertram pathetic little wet dog who still hasn't been potty-trained yet. tricking parolles was the best scene bertram and diana was the worst. and post.
