Sapiosexuality:
If you get poetry you will get him. The bard was a master in that field and used it to communicate meanings. Just try writing ten lines of Iambic Tetrameters and tell how long it took you. Rhythm was his thing. I don't think he's overrated, I only think he's projected as the peak of literary writing. I don't think there's a peak.


I guess you are right.

I dislike poetry.

Shakespeare... An enigma, a wordsmith...and many more, including controversial.
Shakespeare gave us many English word in use today. He 'invented' more than 1,500 words like assassination, compromise, barefaced, gloomy, savagery, excitement, amazement, and more and more.

Till date, he's still considered the greatest Elizabethan (Englishman) poet and playwright ever born. So great and versed that many scholars after him believed that the name 'Shakespeare' referred to a group name for some brainy literary writers because it was hard to imagine a single man displaying so much knowledge in libraries of professions in his writing, all in his a little above 50 years he lived.

I find his works boring.
Still can't find what the fuss about Shakespeare is all about.

To some it was boring but to others it was deep and beyond the ordinary mind...

You guys are missing something here! The conspiracy of Christopher Marlow is a minor one. The major and most widely accepted conspiracy theory was that his plays were originally written by the great British Philosopher Francis Bacon. If you are not familiar with Francis Bacon, then you need to do a quick research on him.
