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.

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