A review by lestradez0
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
4.0
The writing in this book is considerably different from the rest; it is more like a theatrical performance with dialogue than in ordinary novel books, which surprised me when I first read it. The language utilised, despite the difficulty it causes, is more fascinating. How lovely and unique their language was back then captivated me.
In my opinion, the theme that stands out the most in this book is "suffering as a result of love." Shakespeare demonstrates that love can be painful despite the characters' cheerful ending, which sees all lovers find one another and experience happily ever after. The majority of the characters appear to view love as a destructive emotion that strikes its victims unexpectedly and violently, similar to a curse. Many characters assert that falling in love—or, more accurately, experiencing the sorrow of unrequited love—is excruciating.
Moreover, some people experience romantic fulfilment while others do not, which makes love itself exclusionary. As a result, love cannot overcome all challenges and individuals whose wishes are not satisfied and who are still in love experience the lack of it even more severely.
In conclusion, I recommend this book to read as you will find lots of things to learn.
