ORIGINAL: LillyoftheVally We 'have' to read Shakespeare (Tempest, Much ado, Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet for me) that it becomes academic high culture not to be enjoyed but endured. The problem with most people is that they try to rush through reading Shakespeare as if his plays were pulp novels and then they dismiss them as incomprehensible or 'bad communication'. His plays need to be savoured, preferably accompanied by a comprehensive glossary, a bottle of vintage port and a roaring fire.
