Shakespeare

[(Anonymous)]

I will go for the bonus points because I don't admit I hate Shakespeare often because I don't want to seem like an idiot.

I understand his themes are universal and has inspired a lot of great modern stories, but reading Shakespeare himself just bores me to tears.

Re: Shakespeare

[(Anonymous)]

Although you could say that Shakespeare is overrated, and unenjoyable if you're not a fan of literature, etc, I don't think it's a stretch that his plays are referred to as masterpieces!

Re: Shakespeare

[(Anonymous)]

Well the qualifier to this was just that you think someone is overrated, and I do think Shakespeare often gets too much credit for "inventing" themes that had been around long before he started writing.

Re: Shakespeare

Have you ever seen it performed live? I struggled reading it, but there's a local Shakespeare group that performs for free and it is a completely different experience. Also, I prefer the comedies.

Re: Shakespeare

Seconding this. These plays are meant to be experienced, and reading doesn't quite cut it.

Re: Shakespeare

[caecilia]

Especially since they include the audience. Even for someone shy like me it's a lot of fun!

Re: Shakespeare

[mekkio]

That's the thing about Shakespeare that drives me nuts. It's not supposed to be read. It's supposed to be watched as it is being performed live. I know, I know, teachers need to teach it as is on the page because that's how the curriculum is. But I find Shakespeare is some much more easier to understand when it is coming out of an actor's mouth.

Re: Shakespeare

You know what I always found funny?

I'm a double major of english and theatre. The theatre classes are totally willing to rip Shakespeare a new one when going over him in class. The english classes? Only reverence is acceptable. If you critique or admit a negative view everyone looks at you in wide-eyed shock or thinks you're dumb.

ETA: I love how the first two comments to you questioned you about your tastes because if you don't like it then something is wrong with you or how you experienced it.
