    Shakespeare is never taught properly in school anyways. I always hated it. They teach plays by making you read and analyze. That’s like taking a film course and reading the scripts but never watching the movies.

    Once you watch Shakespeare as intended, on a stage but nothing fancy, by actors who don’t take themselves too seriously, it clicks. But reading the plays as a teenager is just dumb.
