Not just because we're being forced to learn his junk, because I actually like Julius Caesar, but man, all his other stuff especialy Romio & Juliet was plan out retarded, & nothing original.
But, that's just my opinion.
He wasn't an idiot.
No one ever claimed that Shakespeare was original. However, he did make exquisite use of source material.
I suppose when you produce something that will be recognised as some of the finest pieces ever written, create words, phrases and characters that are still in use today and your name is remembered outside of your own country nearly 400 years after your death, people will hold you in the same regard as Shakespeare.
