Have I read this before: Yes! We read this in 10th grade, I believe. I remember having trouble typing my essay on it because I kept typing “Claudia” instead of “Claudio” and had to backspace (I actually did it just then, too, haha). 

Review: This is probably one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. As always, the witty back-and-forth is there (and the fake death…can’t go wrong with a fake death) and I really enjoyed the characters in this one. It’s also a much easier to read play than, say King Lear, so that helps (in my dumb opinion).

Favorite Part: I love how, after Don John is captured, everyone’s like “we’ll deal with that nonsense tomorrow!” so that Claudio/Hero and Benedick/Beatrice can just all chill together in happiness.
