Have you guys ever wondered why you are forced to read Shakespeare's play? is it because of the language? because no one is speaking in the vernacular that shakespeare wrote in anymore this day and age? I have read a couple of Shakespeare's plays and I chuckled at his bawdy language at times, but its so old and esoteric that it detracts from the largely inane and uninspired plots. Shakespeare might have been a brilliant playwright but I swear to god that I will never read another one of his play again. Hell my class is reading othello and so far I have bullshitted my way through most of the discussions about that play without having read it through. In short I think shakespeare is an overrated hack that is fueled by the pretenses of faux academians thinking they are smart because they can read the esoteric works of shakespeare. While in reality its nothing much more spectacular that the drivel that dinner theaters churns out on a daily basis.

Hahahahahahahahaha. ignorance is indeed bliss. to ask the question" is it the language?" truly demonstrate your lack of knowledge, and appreciation for works outside your mental ability. My immediate thought was to be the lantern to your darkness, but having considered your posting, decided to leave you in your supercilious state.
NB. esoteric, inane are just words. they do not imply intelligence. another thing,
ACADEMIANS is not a word Cheesy. guess you should stop and bullshit your way to a remedial English class Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Tunkun is right, unfortunately.  Shakespeare was not as good as our best contemporary writers.

seun. I cannot make a comment on Nigerian Contemporary writers as i've never read their works. What i can easily say though, is in every play that shakespeare did, he easily brought out the personality of each and every main character, so that the reader could easily translate the issues to the characters actions.
