What Shakespeare was able to do in English he would certainly not have done in French.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Shakespeare would never have gone far in today's politically correct world.
Even if I think in English, it's more a language of acting than French.
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.
Shakespeare language is fantastic, and to be honest, you don't need to do anything to Shakespeare.
There's a specificity of language that's required in Shakespeare that most drama students in England deal with - a specificity of language that is somehow not as clear in a lot of American schools.
I've never been that keen on Shakespeare.
The reason there's no modern-day Shakespeare is because he didn't have anything to do except sit in a room with a candle and think.
It would be just as pointless to oppose the international use of English today as it would have been to oppose the worldwide use of French in the 18th century.
Shakespeare's language does not require a British accent. It requires a facility with language, and that's all.
Shakespeare didn't work at all for me.
