ORSINO MUST DIE

 

I'm done now.

 

But honestly, I thought Sandiego and Inverse had bad choice in lovers, and then I read this... It's still an awesome play — Viola and Olivia can carry it alone — but really, Viola, could you have picked a worse lover? Caliban, maybe, or Emperor Palpatine? If I were in her position, I'd have gone with the competent one of the same gender. At least Gourry is nice...

 

But yeah. Shakespeare invented tsundere (Much Ado About Nothing, of course), harem comedy (the aforementioned Twelfth Night), detective fiction (Hamlet, which was actually so good I was surprised to see someone was able to mess it up), the Grand Guignol (Titus Andronicus)... This despite the fact that pretty much all of his plays were massive improvements on other works (Midsummer Night's Dream excepted). Romeo and Juliet, in particular, was a massive improvement from "The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet [sic]."
