2023 Re-Read: Love this play. I re-read it 20 years after my first read back in year 7. It can't be underrated because it's Shakespeare but the set pieces, dialogue, and the masque are wonderful. There's something more magical, ethereal, and fantastic than most of his other works that I find charming.

Still one of my favourite of the works of Shakespeare, let alone plays in general. There's so much lyricism in the words and the sorrow/comedy dichotomy found in most Shakespeare is seamlessly done. Truly a work of beauty.
