A review by alireuter
The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare
2.0
look, i’m a big shakespeare fan as you can infer from my many readings of his plays & sonnets, but this one just didn’t hit as they normally do. i expected a similar chaotic plot of wit & creative dialect such as that in much ado about nothing, my favourite play of his, but found nothing as compelling or comic that compare. as many modern perspectives, i found it misogynistic at best, which surpassed my realistic tolerance, & dull at worst. there are some quite fun interactions & word play from katherina who is the most likable character with an actual personality (i’m a match with kat stratford which might explain my favouritism). honestly, i don’t have much else to say. i wouldn’t recommend it if you were into shakespeare or not unfortunately. go watch 10 things i hate about you i guess.
