Shakespeare is heralded as the top writer in English, but I just think most people have convinced themselves they like him when they really don’t. On this 46th Episode of How to Write Good, I discuss the elevating issues in the plays of Shakespea… No, I don’t. On this week’s episode, I discuss how I believe that individuals in the English literature world believe that they enjoy Shakespearean plays. When studying him, I noticed the tendency to assume Shakespeare was a genius and therefore look at how Shakespeare is a genius first, rather than first looking at Shakespeare to see whether his plays have merit in our modern world.
