“…at the other extreme, there is Lucio, who retains something about him that is obstinately likable, though he’s clearly a basket case morally” (148).

😂 going back to read the Measure for Measure entry now that I’ve finished the play.

The Winter’s Take was over my head and Frye’s essay on it was as well. 😂 Definitely one to revisit in the future.

Interesting that Frye, in his essay on The Winter’s Tale, is calling a number of Shakespeare’s late plays his romances. They don’t fit neatly into history, comedy, or tragedy.

Brilliant first third of the Henriad chapter. My mind was firing on many cylinders!

Two pages into the 30-page section about the Henriad and my mind is like 😵‍💫 about how everyone is related. 😂
