Not the first time I've read this play, but I'm finding that I still have complicated feelings about it. The aggressive ableism was a bit difficult to get through, especially as a disabled person, but the fact that it exists opens up the opportunity for a conversation about historical ableism, the Tudor Myth regarding Richard III, physiognomy, etc.--especially good for me, as I'm thinking about writing about disability and Shakespeare for my thesis.

This was... Not as bad as I thought (but it was kinda bad, you know, since this is like 500 years old and has lots of sexism and DRAMA, in all caps for emphasis).
