“…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.

I really dislike Falstaff. 😬🙈

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. 😂
