Aside: Dear HN reader, if you are somewhat curious about 'getting into' Shakespeare, I thoroughly recommend it.
During the pandemic, I managed to get into him. It took me ~2 years of reading him, getting used to meter, the phrasing, the ideas, the structure. Yes, ~2 years of ~30 minutes/day on weekdays. About 250 hours total, give or take.
Dear Reader, it is totally worth it.
The depths of English that you reach are just amazing. The feelings and thoughts, so well said. The simple and yet universal themes, the characters, the actors that do him such justice and some that do such injustice, the theater of it all. It is a truly enriching experience for your life. It's tough, no doubt, but my oh my, dear Reader, it is worth it.
