I'll be honest, I am not a huge fan of reading Shakespeare. The plays are a great experience when you watch them but I always find reading them tiresome. It's like reading the script for avengers endgame rather than watching the movie.

So my advice would be to try watch them instead. Either online or you can try to find something like National Theatre Live in your local cinemas.

Agreed. This has always been my advice to people. The plays were written to be performed, and when performed by a competent theater troupe, are a great experience. But I've always found reading them to be a chore.

Give it 200 years and people are going to be writing essays:

"The importance of the recurring theme of metamorphosis in the Marvel Universe and how it foreshadowed the body fluidity movement of the late 21st century".

You just see...
