Despite being a literature student, I have not read enough Shakespeare to love him, and whatever I've read has not made me feel that strongly about him, and yes, they were his tragedies. So when I went onto this comedy, I had no expectations, and maybe that was a good thing, because I loved it.

I had this in my syllabus for a politics of literature course, and we studied it from the post colonial view, but alienating my reading from the class discussion too, I feel like I have enjoyed it more than I had thought I would.

Come to think of it, I don't think I loved any of the characters except Ariel, the spirit enslaved by Prospero, the scheming protagonist and a general arse. But I loved the language, the humour, the action and the end.
