I don't think there's a facial expression that can properly convey the meaning of a 16th century chamber pot scraper or whatever

Shakespeare is like the neck tie. Something made popular by nobles who don't know a goddamned thing about anything, and now all of us have to suffer the legacy of their ignorance for the rest of time.

I'm sure the stories you write will be remembered much more fondly, but future goons may need an annotated version to know what poo poo like "vore," "waifu," and "felching" means

Learning and education are great, but school is irredeemably terrible. The whole system needs to be scrapped and redesigned from the ground up. Start by asking ourselves what we're actually trying to achieve, throw out all preconceptions and figure out the best way to do that.

Right now, two people are writing a recap of the Trump Administration. One is doing Richard III, the other is doing King Lear. They aren't alone in these adaptations, there are millions of people doing similar things. What is unique in their particular case is that they are doing the same play, just from different perspectives.

Shakespare was actually really popular with the common folk.

Lawns and gardens are status symbols meant to show you have enough money or access to free labour to use it on making a patch of ground look a certain way. Removing things that are useful or beautiful is a part of that norm.

Shakespeare is good, but he should be saved until kids are a bit older. Nothing is going to turn people away from him more than making 13yr olds go through Julius Caeasr at a rate of 5 pages per week.

I had a high school English teacher who played (I think it was MacBeth we were studying at the time) audio recordings of the play during class, not because it was important to experience Shakespeare as at least spoken words, but because "we both know you won't read it if I assign it to you" which was either super demeaning or really pragmatic. Though my funniest Shakespeare high school memory was the time our (very new) 9th grade English teacher showed us the Franco Zefferelli adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Which has a bit of brief and tasteful nudity. Which the teacher did not know about in advance.

I believe you're thinking about flyting, also featured in the recent Blockbuster game Assasin's Creed: Valhalla by Ubisoft. Take on the role of a viking, Eivor, as they carve a path through medieval Europe and uncover the secrets of an ancient conspiracy that spans millennia.
