I read this for university, and I am so glad I did!

This was a great play to read. The characters were well-written and so were their emotions. You understood why they acted the way they did, said the things they said, thought the things they thought. 

I definitely recommend!

I loved this— there were some minor things that didn’t land for me but this is certainly one of the greatest classics I’ve read and my rating will probably improve with time
