I never was really able to read that, nor did I like Shakespeare.

In high school it was a challenge for me to even comprehend the Cliff Notes versions of Shakespeare.

Maybe it was all the pot. I know now that he documented universal human behaviors and foibles. He would have a field day with our current president.

The youtube clip of Kenneth Branaugh delivering the speech is worth watching.

Watch the Kenneth Branagh film - it's just incredible. It helps to have a copy of the play handy, at least at the beginning, to get the characters straight.

The only thing more painful than Shakespeare was Beowulf. Not by much.
