"I was into the fact that we we're going to study comedy since we've done mostly the same genre the past few years. I was ignorant at first because it was difficult to understand the dialogue, but with the class discussions and movie I was able to comprehend and enjoy reading/studying Twelfth Night. The characters were interesting with their different situations and overall this was a good play to learn."

    " What a riot! Bill Shakespeare had me rollicking with delight, and I can easily say that Twelfth Night is my favorite of his works. I finished reading it for a second time, and could not believe how easy it was to get through the tougher language terrain once I knew the jest of the story. "

    " Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare its about people who hides their true personality inside and outside. Viola is one of the main character that disguises herself to fit in with society. i feel that this book was not funny at all there were only in the beginning of the book. but overall this book was good everyone who was in love with someone end up getting married, some who was in love with other people did not end up getting married. the fool is this play is basically William Shakespeare himself just bringing his opinion out there using the fool saying people fall in love to quick in a relationship. also using the fool in the story Shakespeare is talking about how some women in society are dress like man. i would recommend this book who is a big fan of William Shakespeare work.

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
