Shakespeare isn't for everyone these days. The only problem with that is English teachers at every level are mostly in denial about this. I went to a different high school each year and every English teacher I had belittled and sometimes even bullied the students who didn't like Shakespeare. In effect, they did the exact opposite of their jobs and put students off learning instead of inspiring us. Spending six weeks a term for four years analyzing material you don't like and are ridiculed for not liking is enough to put anyone off.

Nah the problem with English teachers isn't that they are in denial over Shakespeare not being for everyone. They are in denial that Shakespeare isn't literature.

His works are not literature, they are fucking plays, they are theater!!! They need to be performed or have a performance watched. Trying to study them like literature guts them completely. I wish English teachers had the balls to hand Shakespeare over to the Drama teachers.

NAYRT.

Completely agreed.

I agree that Shakespeare plays are best seen rather than read (although reading the plays with good annotations after seeing a performance can be immensely helpful) but I still believe that Shakespeare is literature. We studied other plays in our English classes, so why not Shakespeare too? Also, where I live Drama doesn't have to be part of the curriculum whereas English does, so I feel many students would miss out if all plays were termed to be outside of literature.

Did no one else read them aloud? We always did at my school. (And some of the students acted bits out, like dear Karissa, who stabbed herself in the armpit with a pencil and laid in the floor until the bell rang)
