People really show themselves up when they say anyone that likes Shakespeare' are just showing off and can't possibly be genuine.

Surely the snobs are the ones who argue that someone of relatively humble origins couldn't have written the plays?

People of a country where English is not their mother tongue use English in the same way - they'll argue the toss in their own language then fire off a coup de grâce in English to clearly state "I'm educated - don't fucking bother arguing any more with me, you thick peasant!"

I'll give him The Crucible. That's a cracking play. But American literature is just bloody turgid. I usually swerve American writers.

Yes. People only pretend to like him to get an acting job, pass GCSE’s or to appear intellectual. It’s all in a foreign language and his comedies are shit

Absolutely not. I think his work is really unappreciated, but has had an undeniable everlasting impact and influence on culture, language and storytelling globally.
