the more time goes by the more i'm like yeah... cymbeline might be my favorite shakespeare play
#tales from diana#not that i don't have like 10 favorite shakespeare plays#did i mention i finished coriolanus on monday so i have read the 37 canon?#i consider two noble kinsmen canon too at least bc for the past 50 years or so it's been accepted more and more#my riverside shakespeare from the 70s includes 2nk and therefore it's canon to me#but either way if it's 37 or 38... that's a lot of shakespeare to have read in my life#in an english class i was subbing on wednesday the teacher had an old pelican shakespeare and i was going through it. that had 37#and i was like wow. i've read literally every play in this book lol#it doesn't feel like i'm done. i guess bc i've really sped up in the past year and a half#i was in a reading slump for awhile especially around 2020-2021ish#but taking time off school and subbing has given me a lot of reading time#in fact i resent that i have to do homework reading now bc i'm like wait a minute. i have books i wanna read#You're Cutting In On MY Special Time#indeed while i do read a lot when i sub and it's slow (ie hall duty/test days/high schoolers who dont want my help)#i get a LOT of reading done but i very rarely read plays at work#i like to read them alone bc it helps w my concentration. i mainly read nonfiction and sometimes poetry at work#but whatever#my teenager favorites of midsummer and the tempest (and antony and cleopatra) are hard to place now#the winter's tale too is one i read in the slump era of my shakespeare journey but i have always loved it so much#the romances on the whole are just my favorite. you know. they don't miss#cymbeline is perhaps the most heartening play for me to read and think about. just. what a wonderful fairy tale#everything has so much meaning in that story#it's long and there are many many many moving parts but nothing is extraneous at all#it evokes so much wonder in me. i love it
