When I was taught Shakespeare in school, it was such an alien, sanitized puzzle, it made no sense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, as a kid I did not get Shakespeare. I just never understood it.
It's like saying French shouldn't be taught because you don't understand it because it's new. Shakespeare is just like learning a new, exciting language.
I read Shakespeare when I was 14 because it's what we were taught.
I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me.
It's extremely dangerous to compare anyone else to Shakespeare.
I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.
There was a time when people liked to take Shakespeare and twist him around to make whatever social or political statement they wanted to make.
It's an intuitive exercise to do a Shakespeare play and to go through a Shakespeare play.
I was that weird eight-year-old who was really interested in Shakespeare and understood it and appreciated the language.
I'm a games and theory kind of guy. I love puzzles, so it was fun dissecting Shakespeare's prose.
