Reviewed by Leandra Marie GehrmannSchwieriger Einstieg aber dann absolut brilliant in der 2. Hälfte und vor allem post analysis ein krasses feministisches Werk, dass Frauen in Shakespeares Werken ihre Stimme reclaimen lässt. Es geht um bodily autonomy, the weaponisation of female desire in a patriarchal system and the „nun or whore“ narrativ, dass bis heute in unserer Gesellschaft besteht.
