I was bored to tears with Shakespeare until I took a class on Shakespeare for an English class in high school my senior year (it was one of the few that fit my schedule). The guy that taught it was a Shakespeare nut and even acted and worked in the
Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, OR. He was excellent at explaining what the language meant and what ol' Bill was going for at various points in the plays. It really made it come alive and I found I really enjoyed it.

Probably this.
