What is /lit/'s opinion about reading Shakespeare's plays while referring to modern english whenever you don't understand something?

Pretty much all of Shakespeare's English was entirely natural to me. At worst, the meanings could be easily deduced; by context and so forth.

If this wasn't the case for you, get your head in the fucking dunce hat.

You should try to work out any unknown word through context; iff that fails, look the word up.

I've got the Norton edition and it provides definitions in the margin for obscure words, or words that have changed meaning. Works great.

It's still a whole lot better than not reading any Shakespeare at all tbqh.
I agree with this guy though >>8041319
