Hmm. Some stars for the language; some penalty for the content, which I remind myself that I am not obliged to like or make allowances for, as a modern reader.

'And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience;
Too little payment for so great a debt.
Such duty as the subject owes the prince,
Even such a woman oweth to her husband...'

Charming.

Oh the misogamy. Probably the easiest to understand (especially if you are a '10 Things I Hate About You' fan. I'm not a Shakespeare gal, but it is fun to see where so many stories have evolved from. Also, treat yourself to the reviews. Some of them are gold!

A few good jabs here and there, but all in all not my cup of tea.
