Ok, if you're going to pick at everything I say, first of all I didn't say I've read MacBeth, I said I've read parts of it.
As for the Poe, let me clerify this. In a basic sense I'm very glad that he wrote everything that he did, even though for me it had little to no effect, it inspired quite a few horror writers which I look up to these days, don't ask any of them's name, because I don't take note to write down the name of every person who has writen something I've liked, & also writen that they were inspired by Poe.
As for Blank Verse I nearly Aced that test in English.
As for me not knowing much at all, how about we find something you don't like, & therefore don't spend time learning about it, & then let me tell you how you & your OPINION are wrong because you don't want to take time to understand it. I gave his stuff a chance, I didn't like it all to much, so I don't care to read anymore of it. It's not that I don't don't understand it, it just doesn't interest me.
And if billions of people in the world are going to say that he IS without a doubt one of the, if not the best writers in the world, I find that to be stating an opinion as a fact, & therefore I believe I can state my opinion in a broad & general referance as to say HE SUCKS!
What I've meant by all this is his work is entirely to over rated, & it seems that mass opinions have come to be known as facts. I don't care if every other person besides myself loved his work, it still would not make him the best of anything. "The Best" if a title given to things due to popular opinion, & sometimes people tend to throw their opinion in the same direction as the masses, & then you get what I'd like to reffer to as the "Shakespear effect."
Now why do I get the feeling that all you will get from this is "Blah blah blah, shakespear sucks, blah blah blah, I don't know what I'm talking about." Which may be due to teh fact that I'm very open about the fact that I'm able to understand his works, & still think they aren't very good.
"That's hardly the best stance from which to criticise Shakespeare or any writer for that matter."
Ever see someone talk bad about an actor in a movie? They themselves are not an actor, so does that mean they should keep their mouth shut? No!
If a doctor goes to do a simple operation, & the person comes out looking like they've been hit by a train, does any normal human being have the right to exclaim the doctor didn't know what he was doing?
Point being is you don't have to be on the same level or higher as the person, or person's work to disclaim that it's not what or as good as everyone seems to preceve it to be.
