grayness

I finished Much Ado About Nothing tonight. Of all the Shakespeare I've read in my resolution to read all his plays [that I haven't read already] this year, it is my favorite, well-written, and a true comedy. Actually, I think it's my favorite of them all, period. I find the sparring between Beatrice and Benedick especially romantic, and right-feeling.

On the other hand, Claudio's rather self-righteous and cavalier treatment of poor Hero under false accusation... left me rather cold. She really should not have taken him back. Hmmmph. But, still, this did not spoil the play for me.

Next up, I believe I shall try As You Like It.
