I really appreciate that. :-) And you're quite right about the teacher. That goes for any subject really. I love history, but I've had teachers that were horrible so I started to loathe it. Same goes for almost any subject during Jr. High or High School. A few in college, but I mostly only took classes I was interested in already and was lucky to have some wonderful professors. Duane, it's not such a "funny thing." My experience was very similar. I think I'll write about it soon in a new post. Thank you so much for the kind words, Naomi.

Duane, it’s not such a “funny thing.” My experience was very similar. I think I’ll write about it soon in a new post.

I was lucky in that I had a good English Lit teacher both at school and college. I've always loved Shakespeare and part of the fun is trying to decipher the Old English terminology that William Shakespeare used. P.S. I've submitted a post to your carnival. I think you have a great site here and would love to swap links with you if that's of interest. I will also do a little post on your site so you may gain some more visitors from that. This is quite a unique site and the first of its kind I've come across on the net. Keep up the good work! Hello

I had to go through all the same routine - memorize the balcony scene, watch the Olivier Hamlet, compare and contrast the role of the avenging son as seen in Laertes, Hamlet and Horatio...and so on. All the standard stuff, and while I had fun memorizing, it was just like any other subject - nobody else likes it, so if you do like it, then nobody will like you. My interest in Shakespeare for real didn't come until college. The funny thing is, despite going on to run my own Shakespeare site, I would answer no to this question.
