Not Even My Least Favourite Shakes Play
This is the first (only?) Shakespeare play I have straight up hated. I didn’t really like any of the characters or any of the dialogue. It started out a hot mess. It became more of a hot mess with every act. By the end I just wanted all the characters to end up dead. The only good part about the ending was that the play was finally over. Maybe this is one of those plays that is better on stage. It wasn’t nearly enough of a tragedy for me. It seemed like insanity. I didn’t know Shakespeare went through a drinking phase. That’s really the only thing that explains how horrible this play is in comparison to all of his others.
