Re: Is Shakespeare Irrelevant...

I concur with all of the above posts. 'Tis monstrous that they could even think of getting rid of him! (Ah, you really can stick the quotes in everywhere ) He (or whoever...still speculation about whether Shakespeare actually wrote the plays. But as my English teacher said, it doesn't matter who wrote them, the fact that this fantastic body of work was written and is still around for us to enjoy today is more important) created such interesting, influential and downright enjoyable pieces of literature -- I love Othello, I could read it again and again and Iago is easily my favourite character ever -- and to call them 'irrelevant' is outrageous!
