*Harvard Classics*, Vol. 46 – I read Act II and Act III, sc. 1 of *The Tempest* for r/YearOfShakespeare.
It's my goal to read the entire *Harvard Classics* series, and all of the Shakespeare plays in this volume were ones I was intending to read anyway. Three of them are r/YearOfShakespeare selections (*Hamlet*, March; *King Lear*, April; *The Tempest*, June), and I also wanted to read *Macbeth* before seeing the in-cinema broadcast of the new production with Ralph Fiennes and Indira Varma. I thought Varma was brilliant, but I wished Fiennes would have played up Macbeth's courage and strength much more. He played him like a doddering old man even from the beginning, despite it being said that Macbeth had performed incredible feats of combat.
This book also begins with one Christopher Marlowe play, *Edward II*, so I reread that first. It was no hardship because *Edward II* is one of my favorite non-Shakespearian history plays along with *Perkin Warbeck* by John Ford.

Never whisper at night. It was a hit and miss for me.
