The problem with Shakespeare is that we teach it so poorly. A script, however beautifully written, is not a play any more than a blueprint is a house. Shakespeare was meant to be performed by actors sen by an audience. THEN you can go back and read it, learning to find its rhythms and structure.
I love, love, LOVE Shakespeare, both on the page and on the stage but the appreciation for the language came well after falling in love with the experience of seeing the plays.
