The Winter's Tale

no story has ever made me feel as much grief as this one has. also wtf is going on the footnotes, the editor is straight up writing porn down there. never in my life have i read such a dirty interpretation of seemingly innocent writing. i read the arden publication btw

Hands-down, the dumbest Shakespeare play I've read. Everything–the characters, plot, writing, etc.–is inconsistent, silly, uneven, shallow, and ridiculous. And no, not in a genuinely funny or comedic way.
