The Tempest by William Shakespeare (#11, British Lit/Play)

What else can I say but I just don't get the full effect of Shakespeare reading him on my own. By nature I read quickly, I can't help it, and that certainly isn't the way to read his plays. I can't even imagine how many themes, intricacies, and plotsI missed. Maybe all of them? I hope not.

I still love Shakespeare though. He is fun to read, and it was nice to have no tragic deaths at the end, rather a happy love match and a family reunion. Must stick with romance and comedy--no tragedies.
