I'm reading Tolkien's "Fairy-stories". Honestly, he is soooooo mean to Shakespeare, I almost laughed my ass out on his comment on Macbeth, "[It] is indeed a work by a playwright who ought...to have written a story, if he had the skill or patience for that art."
@DeltaDew Yes, I was impressed most by his comment on the happy ending thing at my first reading. However, now having read Shakespeare, Tolkien's grudges on the Bard are so hilarious to me haha
@aglarienenglit Tolkien's "on fairy stories"? I only remember his idea about tragedy is the highest form of play and fairy story should have a happy ending
I should re-read it when I have time.
