Let alone English Literature, Shakespeare is a world-famous author. However, reading his works bores some people. Here are my advices for not getting bored while reading Shakespeare.
- First of all, these works are not novels. They are plays, performances. Shakespeare constructed them in this way. You should imagine that you are watching a theater play while reading.
- Who knows how many times these texts have been edited until today. In other words, the texts we receive are probably not original. You should not examine every word with the logic that it means something. You should not analyze all the paragraphs. This will only tire you.
- Read for human stuff. For example, how does Shakespeare construct his characters? What does Shakespeare pay attention to when writing a comedy? Because, that is the meaning of his plays. You should not read his plays for their fancy language or because they are literary.
In short, if you think Shakespeare is boring, I recommend that you change your perspective on his works, that is, your reading style. If you are still bored despite all this, who knows, maybe you have not found the play that suits you yet…

Merhaba Hilal,
Özellikle Shakespeare’in eserlerini birer tiyatro performansı olarak ele almak gerektiği vurgusu, onun dilini ve karakterlerini daha anlaşılır kılmak için harika bir yaklaşım.
Metni sözcük sözcük analiz etmek yerine, daha genel bir çerçeveden insan ilişkileri ve karakter yapısına odaklanmanın okuyucuyu yormadan eserin tadını çıkarabilmesini sağlayacağına katılıyorum.
Ayrıca, bu güzel siteyi hazırladığın için tebrik ediyorum.
Teşekkür ederim.
