Book #20 - Twelfth Night
Nov. 4th, 2007 08:45 amWhew, one long overdue book done. This one was fun. I liked Viola and felt bad for Olivia. How awkward to discover the boy you've fallen in love with is in fact a girl. Meep!
Now, I really don't get this whole deal with there having to be three weddings. Why? The third one always feels like a throwaway, especially here. We don't see it onscreen, don't even see the parties involved afterwards being all "lalala, we're newlyweds," it's mentioned in passing _once_ by someone else, and nobody even reacts. Why bother writing that in? Is there something deeply symbolic or something, that there absolutely _has_ to be three weddings? And if Shakespeare knew this, why didn't he ever bother to set up the third one as well as he did the first two between the main characters? Really, it's starting to get annoying.
BUT. Next up is Henry IV and then on to Julius Caesar. No more of this comedy stuff. ... Except, Henry IV is where we meet Falstaff, right? *sigh*
