Am I the only who doesn’t give an eff about Shakespeare? Sure I love the history of it all, but there’s too much good shit to read that doesn’t involve an annoying archaic English and will never use it again unless you do plays in the park.
Except that apart from maybe the bible, there is probably not a single literary body of work that is as often refered to as Shakespeare’s in western media, literature, movies, series, games … you name it. It’ll help you appreciate A LOT of other stuff a lot more if you get into it a little. Shakespeare is used and reused everywhere, all the time.
