Book Reviews of All's Well That Ends Well (Signet Classics)
Book Review: Fascinating and rich
Summary: 5 Stars
All's Well has been unfairly treated. It's supposed to be one of Shakespeare's worst plays, but it is truly fascinating. It is subtle, and the conflicts are rich. Here, no one is purely good or bad, and perhaps it's the difficulty of feeling drawn to a variety of characters who are in conflict that makes people dislike this play. The female lead is bravely determined. The male lead is completely controlled by the political situation. Of course he wants his freedom! The adoration that the female lead feels for him must seem like a trap. . . And yet she does feel it, and she's willing to do everything to realize her dream. I love the reality of this play. It isn't glorious like Hamlet, it isn't abject like Lear. Instead, it's a picture of a middle class reality that gives us insight into sex, liberty, love, and authority.
Summary of All's Well That Ends Well (Signet Classics)
One of Shakespeare's most thought-provoking comedies in which high-born Lord Bertram learns humility and the true worth of his wife.
