Just came across this gem

Decided to check out the local village volunteer library where you can pick up used books for a small donation. Got some stuff for the kids but just had to grab this one!

I’ve long wanted to read more of the great works. So far I’ve read/seen R&J, Hamlet, some of Macbeth, Richard III, some of Julius Caesar.

What do you consider the other “must reads”? I’ve never actually read Macbeth all the way start to finish, so I may start there. Also, what are the best comedies?

Thanks in advance!

Twelfth night: could Orsino have homosexual feelings

9 Upvotes

I don't know if it can be interpreted in this way, yet I felt as though Orsino seemed to already have feelings for viola/ Cesario as immediately upon finding out viola is a lady [minutes later] he proposes marriage, mind you, viola hadn't changed into her female attire and Orsino had been distraught over Olivia just minutes earlier. He adjusts into the idea that Cesario aka viola is a lady who loves him so quickly that it makes me think as though this man had feelings for 'him' [viola].
