this board doesn't even have more than 10 people on it

not unlike a good shakey play

Nowhere near all of his plays are worth reading, like half at most. For every Hamlet or King Leer there's five Winters Tale

I've read all of them and I still believe what that guy said.

Pleb

why would reading all of Shakespeare make someone an intellectual? why would not make them a pseudo intellectual?

Oh go on, tell me how the Winters Play is a decent play, tell us what people will get from reading it

You're probably trolling since you can't even get the names of the plays right, but I'll bite anyway:

- First half is as dark as they come in Shakespeare
- Anti-tyrannical sentiments; Hermione's eloquent defence
- Autolycus is a great character
- The language of love between Florizel & Perdita in the sheep-shearing:

What you do
Still betters what is done. When you speak, sweet,
I’d have you do it ever; when you sing,
I’d have you buy and sell so, so give alms,
Pray so, and for the ordering your affairs,
To sing them too. When you do dance, I wish you
A wave o’th’ sea, that you might ever do
Nothing but that, move still, still so,
And own no other function. Each your doing,
So singular in each particular,
Crowns what you are doing in the present deeds,
That all your acts are queens.

Actually it's a very important play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Winter's_Tale#Dildos
