You know, that makes me think. I was going to say that you should have been introduced through one of his comedies - say, A Midsummer Night's Dream, or The Merchant of Venice.
But that makes me wonder. See, I don't like comedies so much anymore. They used to be all I liked, but my tastes moved on. And one thing I really abhor - also why I refuse to participate in any collaborative writing - is that there are people for whom everything simply must be a comedy. Anything else is dark and dreary and above all boring. So they shun anything which isn't funny.
Personally, I am much more interested now in the complex personal relationships, the drama, the interplay of people. I find comedy tiresome. So I wonder how much of it is teachers who want to advance to the (to them) more interesting discussions of drama, and unintentionally rushing past the comedy.
