I hate they way in English Lit we are forced to over-anaylise it and only read certain scenes.

Shakespeare's plays are meant to be watched not read! And the medieval satire/naughtiness is difficult to understand. Shakespeare is great at creating something that many different types of people can relate to. Back in the Elizabethan Era both the Royalty & Peasants flocked to his theatre. <br /><br />I'll hopefully read some Shakespeare soon!!GardenofEdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814430812989926177noreply@blogger.com
