All's Well That Ends Well
Shakespeare wrote one of his most cynical plays — a "comedy" where every character manipulates, lies, or schemes to get what they want, and the forced marriages at the end satisfy nobody.

Why It Matters
Shakespeare wrote one of his most cynical plays — a "comedy" where every character manipulates, lies, or schemes to get what they want, and the forced marriages at the end satisfy nobody. It is the play that most openly questions whether love can be engineered through persistence and trickery. Modern audiences tend to find it more honest than Shakespeare's sunnier comedies.
The 
Take
Personal reviewHilarious one with tons of trickery and ridiculous payoff, but very entertaining. Everyone being deceitful is an awesome view of humanity. Lots of fun
