So I have a bit of an issue with Shakespeare; or at least, how people perceive Shakespeare. When asking about the like of Shakespeare, many people will reply with "Oh yes, I love Shakespeare! Romeo oh Romeo where for art thou Romeo...." LAME. Firstly, Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's weakest creation by far. Secondly, quoting such an overused phrase does not make you intelligent; it just makes you a douchebag who's seen Baz Luhrman's interpretation. Which brings me to my third point. BAZ LUHRMAN'S ROMEO AND JULIET IS NOT SHAKESPEARE! Saying that you love Shakespeare based on a modern interpretation with Leonardo DiCaprio in it does NOT make you look cool or educated. Go and see a live showing of Hamlet or Midsummer Night's Dream and THEN tell me you like Shakespeare.
Jesus Christ!
That's all for now, folks.
