You never really appreciate Shakespeare until you hear it in the original Klingon.

The image of Klingon Puck just flashed across my brain causing me to laugh so hard I started coughing... thansk a lot guys
NV you are self educated not under educated... and if you can keep up with me you're no slouch
You can do it FLT.
oooh sonnet 29... ( one of the few I can do from memory, as it is my favorite)
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings
To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.
--Francois Mauriac
It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

One of my favorites is "Much ado about Nothing".
I understood most of this play and then I saw the film with Denzel Washington. It was the very end and all but the prince started dancing through the courtyards. They leave the prince standing alone.
Not till that moment did I realise the prince had no one to dance with. No one to share any joy.
The term comedy has changed over the centuries. This story had its humor, but it also had very dramatic scenes. Kenneth Branagh did a fine job of giving the sadness and anger the same measure as the joy.
Shakespeare does need to be seen. Fine points can be missed when just read.

I have a friend who used to go to London for a week just to see plays there. The economy on his business has forced him to cut back on these trips. He always took in one Shakespeare play besides the more contemporary plays being shown. At least I got to hear him talk about them.
Got hoot out of the Klingon "Hamlet".
I can see the Klingons getting into Shakespeare. A lot of vicious politics. They can relate to that.
