Very interesting that I come across this write now because today in acting class, we had to recite a Shakespear monologue. I know why they do it because Shakespeare is very complex in his language and the acting style, and on the side of that it one of the most difficult things to memorize. They give us these assignments to challenge us; a lot like when they put a lot of algerbra on a ath test. As far as why Shakespeare is more popular than his play writing counterparts, I would say it is because he was ahead of his time. Such as "Romeo and Juliet". Most plays during that time were written as a comedy or tragedy or romance but "Romeo and Juliet" was a feel of more than just that, making it ahead of it's time. As far is if it is true whether Shakespeare wrote all of his plays or if here was just passing off someone else's work, no one really know. I guess we have only evidence to go by on that case ;)
Is it normal we are obsessed with shakespeare?
