  • I don't think we are "obsessed" with Shakespeare. I read Julius Caesar at school when I was 13 and that was about it in terms of having it foisted upon me. I probably spent longer learning about longshore drift or the abolition of Prussia.

    Unlike the latter two, studying Shakespeare led to a lifelong interest for me. I'm glad I was given the opportunity just as I'm sure other students were glad to learn about, say, differential calculus or pi bonding in homonuclear diatomic molecules, which may have led to lifelong interests of their own.
