I expect most fourteen/ fifteen year olds to be able to understand Shakespeare.

Now that is expecting a lot from a 14-year-old. Granted, I don't think that the teachers understand it all very well either. I think that the only play of his that I enjoyed in class was "King Lear" and that was in college with a professor who was a little more passionate about the subject.

On the other hand, I bought my niece a Shakespeare collection for Christmas several years back at the suggestion of her mother. She enjoyed it a lot.

Oh, one of my favorite Shakespeare plays was the Taming of the Shrew. It was great comedy. His other plays I came to enjoy more as an adult but that was because I lived in Montgomery, AL which has one of the most renowned Shakespeare Theatres. Some of the best Shakespearan actors go there to study. I got to see Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet and Othello. It really made me appreciate his writings even more. :)
