This is one of the better Shakespeare plays I've read. The last of his plays that I connected to was Measure for Measure; the humanity of which being what drew me in. I've found that I appreciate Shakespeare's writing more when the subjects are regular people, or not high-powered royalty. Viola/Ceasrio's gender experimentation is a very interesting narrative to follow. That, especially compounded by Orsino's willingness to court them while using the name Cesario and words like "boy" and male pronouns when they're in men's clothes has interesting implications to Orsino and by proxy, Shakespeare's views on sexuality and gender. Subtextual and implied queerness throughout the play give a rich quarry from which to source information for a variety of analyses.
