Why do we still study Shakespeare in school nowdays? He has been dead for about 500 years.
Sure, I know he was good to the playwright industry, kind of like the Beatles to the rock industry, and also like the Beatles, I don't like his work very much, although I appreaciate what he did and how he conveys good messages. I admit it - he does convey good themes in his texts...but - I don't like the actual plays.
I just think - perhaps it's time we moved on? I just think people today hold him in too high esteem....I'm sure there are plenty of modern plays/texts that are just as good quality.
