Shakespeare’s psychological insight into the human character is impressive and the passion involved grabbed me right away. I found it’s several interwoven plots to be fascinating and well done. This is the fifth play I’ve read in my return to Shakespeare after so many years, and it my favorite so far. See: List of Shakespeare’s play’s I’ve read and commented on THE MERCHANT OF VENICE However, I will keep a separate page listing each play I’ve read with links to any comments I would make of that particular play. At this time I have no idea how the project will go, nor if it will actually lead me through the entire corpus of Shakespeare’s plays. Thus I began with The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
I wanted to go back, start with something not too serious or challenging, and work my way through the whole corpus. I hadn’t read a Shakespeare play since 1959, 50 years ago! But I had read nearly all of them in college. General Note: In January 2009 I decided that I’d like to go back and read all the plays of William Shakespeare, perhaps one a month if that works out.
