Muy resumida la obra de Shakespeare. Pero se entiende muy bien, con un lenguaje muy básico.
Tiene bastantes actividades para practicar en el aprendizaje del inglés.

This has been the only Shakespeare work that I could get into and enjoy. The rest had me in tears, bored out of my mind. I do wanted to like them, like all my other classmates but I gave up and enjoyed this (and to some extent Macbeth but only because of the three witches :) ) because of the sarcasm and wit that played out. The romance in most stories I could care less for but give me a good comedy and I'll gobble words right up!
Since this play was read so long ago, I only remember a bit but what I do remember that I tore right through it and had to read it again so I read with the class. It had action, humor, romance. It wasn't quite "The Princess Bride" but considering I had to read it for school, it was actually stimulating compared to some of the other books that we read.
All in all, if you have a hard time with Shakespeare, I would recommend this play. Get an annotated version to understand the original as well as the time it was written in.
