I think that we study Shakespeare because he is considered to be the most famous English writer in history. I believe that learning about the greatest writer of the English language will allow us to grasp a greater understanding of what writing truly meant during that time period.

I think there's something inherently valuable in studying something you don't think you could find anything meaningful in. Sure Shakespeare is complex and sure the language is often misunderstood but...he just mostly writes Rom-Coms and Mafia movies if you think about it. Much ado about nothing is literally The Big Short and Macbeth is a mafia story about brotherhood and decit within a family. We study him because he wrote modern stories in a very non-modern time. He wrote stories with curse words, vulgar subjects, and taboo concepts. People didn't appreciate him at first, just thought he was low class theatre, now he's the top of the top. We study him because it's important to see how a mind like that worked in a time like then.

We study Shakespeare to learn about his views on things. How he views love, work, fear, loss. He puts it in a way that may be difficult for others to understand and so we learn about it so we can take that knowledge and use it on other works.
