Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM by William Shakespeare

This is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays, and is a far cry from his stodgy, stuffy historical tragedies. The use of fictional characters seems to have freed Shakespeare quite a bit, and I actually got some of the jokes, so there's hope for both of us.

I still don't see why Shakespeare is considered the greatest author in the history of the English language; in all honesty, I think some people say that because they're used to saying that. I still can't recommend it, because of the archaic language, but it at least is moving in the right direction.

Or I am.
