A review by andrew_j_r
The Two Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare
3.0
I don’t get this play. It’s all fine until the final scene and then it all flies apart. I know it’s supposed to be a comedy rather than a tragedy but the final scene is quite tragic in the way it relates to reality. I don’t buy that at the start of the final scene Julia sees Proteus about to rape Silvia but by the end of the scene is back in love with him.
So my score for the book here does not just reflect the play (it wouldn’t have been a two or perhaps less based purely in that) but it us elevated by the interesting background material by Roger Warren, thankfully I had read this before I launched into the play, so forewarned was forearmed as it were.
