Still a bit new to Shakespeare, but I really enjoyed this play!! It was fun to read and I found the characters more lovable than in the other plays i've read. Definitely recommend!

Also why are all the characters gay (I approve >:D) 
(gayest play so far too)

I love this play and will probably reread it many more times! 

Favourite quote on this re-read: Antonio to Viola/Cesario (mistaken for Sebastian): “There is no blemish in nature but the mind: None can be called deformed, but the unkind.” It resonated with me as a disabled person.

Shakespeare’s gayest play. What’s not to love? (Other than a B plot that drags in places)
