Day 21: An overrated play (for a slightly unusual value of "overrated")

OK, I had a bit of trouble with this one. There are some Shakespeare plays that I don't think are very good, but they're mostly the ones that nobody else thinks are very good either. And there are a few super-famous ones that I've never entirely warmed up to (Richard II, Julius Caesar, and to a lesser extent As You Like It, in case you're wondering), but I would never say they're overrated, exactly, just that they're not personal favorites of mine.

But there is one play that I rather like, but that I think gets way more attention from my fellow lit-crit types than it deserves, and generally gets taken far too seriously, so I guess that counts as being "overrated."

But sun it is not when you say it is not / And the moon changes even as your mind )
