Read for my Shakespeare class.

Genuinely, I have no opinion of this play. I wish I could say more, but I just couldn't seem to follow along. All the characters were so confusing, especially since some of the characters were referred to by multiple names. 

I do enjoy the ideas of consciousness in here, however, and the ironic lack of empathy all the characters have for each other. There are a lot of parallels between this play and Titus Andronicus
