You use the language of Shakespeare everyday without understanding what you do.
And in a form of reverse snobbery you express your ressentiment towards those who love and understand the greatest writer in the English language.
This sounds more like The Lord of the Flies than a Grammar School.
There is no resentment in my tone. I am only saying what is true. Shakespeare(assuming he was a real person) encrypting meaning within his work so only a select few could understand it is perfectly fine and rational from an economic standpoint, and a very clever business move, but it disqualifies the work from true magnanimity.
There is nothing wrong with being esoteric, selective, and elitist but if we are going to put something on the level of true greatness it best be for all.
