Much Ado About Nothing, II.i
#much ado about nothing#i am finally reading this play#the 29th shakespeare play ive read and im just finally getting to this extremely popular comedy#u can question my choices if u want im ok w that#shakespeare#beatrice#elizabethan literature#english renaissance#comedy#also i bought another edition of the shakespeare simply bc. i wanted tah.#this one has different supplementary material and it's not as chunky and unwieldy as the riverside (even tho the riverside is my beloved)#it was only like 14 bucks or so where i bought it#shakespeare: 23 plays and the sonnets revised edition edited by thomas marc parrott#it sparked joy#it's also so beautiful and has so many plated illustrations of performances over the years#it makes me soooo happy i have no regrets#as im getting closer to finishing the plays i haven't yet read im realizing that im going to want to reread them all my life#like i just have an inexhaustible love of shakespeare. unfortunately#so rich in magic and wonder and meaning. he really is one of The Greats#i like a lot of old dead people who wrote poems very specific to their time and place#and shakespeare belongs very firmly to his own time and place but the complexity and richness of his work really is so eternal#his stories and characters are fundamentally human and i do think upon a proper acquaintance just abt anyone can find smth to love in them.#the praise of shakespeare is not hollow. he's Really That Good#ive read so much literature in my life from various times places and cultures. only a drop in the bucket are Really That Good
