I get it now, I get Shakespeare now.

Honestly schools and teachers who tries to teach me about Shakespeare and Shakespearean story telling.

All you had to do was show me this Animated series:

Richard III

Hamlet:

Julius Caesar:

Macbeth:

Andd Romeo and Juliet:

Richard III is my absolute favorite of this old animated series, and so many words and sentences that I have seen been referenced in many other media, now I fully get their meaning and context. And despite that uneven quality of animation, the vocal work here is spectacular.

I have been missing out on these stories properly all my life until now.

I keep meaning to watch one of these. I'm a fan of "the classics", and by that I mean that I am currently catching up with the literature that shaped the western hemisphere.


So thanks for sharing. These are on my list
