Don't get me wrong, I respect Shakespeare's contributions to the English language and no doubt accept that he is the undisputed king of literature, but his works are simply not for me and I don't find much enjoyment in reading them.
He was a playwright. His primary works were really meant to be watched, not read. Imagine reading the script to Pulp Fiction - how many of the scenes would have the same dramatic impact in written format?
Fair enough point.
Does Baz Luhrmann's '96 version of Romeo and Juliet suffice? Cuz I enjoyed that one.
