Question

Diary entry on all is well that ends well

Answer 1

This week, I'm finishing up with All's Well That Ends Well and moving on to the next big assignment - Twelfth Night. This is the second of three plays that are part of the comedy unit of the class. Reading the play has given me interesting insight into the world of romantic comedy, specifically the 'marriage plot' and how Shakespeare has used nuptials as a driving force in some of his 'problem plays.'

I'm not much for the romantic comedy movies that come out these days. They're too predictable, and they present characters who are far too stereotypical for my taste. They just don't do it for me. I try not to watch romantic comedies, but when I do, I generally don't find them funny, and I usually don't find them romantic. But in reading All's Well That Ends Well, I found that the combination of 'romance' and 'comedy' doesn't have to be trite and boring.

Hope it's helpful to uh.
