#20Days20Books 9/20
I'm just going to put this out there. I dislike Shakespeare and having to study this book in school solidified my opinion on that. (which will eternally disappoint my mother lol)
@Mandypar The history plays are really dry and not very interesting. Forcing children to study them simply isn't helpful.
I think A Midsummer Night's Eve is a far better place for young people to begin. Faeries! Magic! Silliness!
Even then, have them watch the movie or something. They're plays, not books. Mot everyone will like it, but we should at least give them a fighting chance π€£

Shakespeare is meant to be seen and/or performed. The joy is in bringing the play to life.
I have to say, though, my all time favorite exchange is from Henry IV:
Glendower:
I can call the spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur:
Why, so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come, when you do call for them?
@stueytheround @Mandypar
I agree!
