The Bard: Did you discover his works in high school like most young people? :)

@StrawberryMilkshake Now that I think of it...I did read As You Like it for my 7th grade English class. Touchstone is one of my all-time fav Shakespearean characters.

@StrawberryMilkshake Yes I think that was the first Shakespeare I took in school

@StrawberryMilkshake Yes it's a great play! It's overanalyzed because of that reason lol
@StrawberryMilkshake Romeo & Juliet is probably Shakespeare's most popular work, certainly the most adapted. There's something about the idea of two young people falling in love against their families' wishes that resonates with many people. Think of all of the potential partners you've met and how many of them your parents would disapprove of.
