If it’s taught well I think it can be very entertaining. There are lots of levels to Shakespeare and lots of very basic comedy. Watchman in Macbeth etc. the motives of characters are also explained well.
I haven't read much of Shakespeare, but the lightbulb moment for me personally was the 1996 "Romeo + Juliet" movie with DiCaprio. The modern contextualization makes it so much easier to parse the period dialogue.
Yes I almost commented on that too, I am astonished that someone said ‘nothing of interest’.
That sort of adaptation makes it incredibly accessible and I love that they kept the original words yet somehow it all made perfect sense. I think Shakespeare works best in performance.
The only problem is the language.
