Four Comedies of William Shakespeare (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169352100)

Four Comedies of William Shakespeare is a collection of four of the most popular comedic plays written by the famous playwright William Shakespeare. The book includes The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and The Merchant of Venice. In The Taming of the Shrew, the story follows the courtship of Petruchio and Katherina, a headstrong woman who must be ""tamed"" in order to be married. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a magical tale of love and mischief, where a group of fairies and humans get mixed up in a series of romantic entanglements. Twelfth Night is a story of mistaken identity and gender-bending, as a young woman named Viola disguises herself as a man and falls in love with her employer, Duke Orsino. The Merchant of Venice is a play that explores themes of prejudice and justice, as a Jewish moneylender named Shylock seeks revenge against a Christian merchant named Antonio.Each play in Four Comedies of William Shakespeare is filled with witty dialogue, memorable characters, and timeless themes that continue to resonate with audiences today. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature and the works of one of the greatest playwrights of all time.Content yourself. God knows I lov'd my niece; And she is dead, slander'd to death by villains, That dare as well answer a man indeed As I dare take a serpent by the tongue.
