Modern Drama: The Whoreson of Shakespeare

I've come to realize that Shakespeare is nearly as intriguing to me as the modern, comprehensible dramatic movies and shows I've come to love, if not more so. For every play I've read, I've found that I'm initially reluctant to force my brain to think in Shakespearean language, but ultimately incredibly drawn in. The infinite secret alliances, forbidden passions, and of course murders in Lear have shown me once again that everyone else just wishes they could create as well as Shakespeare could. The language just makes it all the more impressive. Its no wonder so many contemporary movies are based on his plays.
