Dear Shakespeare,
You're really going to give me an adorable couple in the form of Antonio and Sebastian and then not let them get together????!!!

I really, really liked the concept for Twelfth Night at first. However, I think the fact that it was a comedy and not a tragedy was what really dragged it down for me.
The play focuses on the most convoluted love triangle I think I've ever seen before. The romance itself isn't horrible, it's the secondhand embarrassment I experienced every other chapter and the lack of other plot that ruined it for me.
I think this play had potential and I really liked the characters, but the plot was boring and I didn't find the humor funny (which I suppose is to be expected when it's 400 years old).
And the ending? First of all, let me make this clear: Antonio and Sebastian had more chemistry than all of the other characters combined and I refuse to believe that they're not soulmates. That being said, I think that a nice sapphic romance between Viola and Olivia would've been great. Instead, we get the least satisfying ending EVER.

Spoiler

Is Antonio alive? We'll never know, which makes me mad cause he was my favorite character by a long shot.

Cool idea, but it would've been better if it didn't try to be funny and actually had a plot.

2.5/5 stars
