what i think of shakespeare....

[Thou hath] not so much brain as ear wax.

shakespeare takes dramatic stories, with meaningful morals,
& writes them in a way that everyone can relate to.
either in a way that is funny or depressing.
many people dislike him,
for some apparent reason.
it maybe that his word choice is confusing & hard to follow,
or that it maybe that his audience isn't educated enough to fully understand his writing.
shakespeare, in my opinion is just short of a genius.
he wrote his plays in order to honour people,
not to make money, or benefit him in any way.
his love for the theatre was radical & inspired many people.
back in his time, performing was done differently,
so the scripts had to be written with plenty of emotion & expression
since props & costumes weren't as elaborate as today.

Love the format of this! I think you're right--readers get frustrated with the language and sometimes give up on him, even though there are so many techniques he uses that help the audience relate.
