But literature enthusiasts slam me for saying that, allow me to explain my view...
- This is 2007, he wrote his works over 500 years ago, and I feel like i'm the only person who finds his texts predictable and grim. Admittedly, its the principle that counts, but the presentation of his ideas isn't entertainment. Maybe back when it was written, but not anymore! So why is it on the exam board????
- Going back to the curriculum, teachers/tutors consistently defend his work, even when students point ideas that are fairly plausable that suggest he never thought something through. One such example in King Lear - characters just deciding to leave the play? Anomolously? Shakespeare for all we know could have thought "oh who cares, can't think of any reason to keep him, so the fool can dissapear" yet people defend this is suggest 'their was a reason'..
-... which makes me wonder, how can these people believe he does no wrong?? No-bodys perfect, and he certainly wasn't.
Anyways.....
