A review by booksofgayle
The Two Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare

2.75

new faves for the will-shakes list:

Thus have I shunn'd the fire for fear of burning, And drench'd me in the sea, where I am drown'd.

You, minion, are too saucy.

And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.

Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honey And kill the bees that yield it with your stings!

What an ass art thou! I understand thee not. // Why, thou whoreson ass, thou mistak'st me.

I rather would entreat thy company To see the wonders of the world abroad, Than, living dully sluggardiz'd at home, Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.

plot progression was kinda shit tho ngl, expected comedy & got 1590s love island with shrugged-off rape culture. bruh🤡
