One oroblem is the way it is taught at school. They are plays and should be seen not just read!

You need to see Shakespeare on stage not just read him.

Schools should be banned from teaching Shakespeare as so much of the teaching done is boring. Shakespeare should be seen in the theatre in good productions. Unfortunately some of the productions these days even at the Royal Shakespeare company are rubbish

I was Romeo in the school play. As well as the Orator, Juliet's Maid as well as Mercucio and Tibalt. Which was interesting. (On the day of the play. All the boys save me played hooky. So I had to improvise)

Yes reading shakespeare or seeing a play is harder or more challenging than reading Harry Potter or going to see Guardians of the Galaxy...but sometimes its worth putting that effort in to appreciate something brilliant and remarkable.

Hmm yas we're intellectuals 🧐
