Suck it up

After hearing many of my classmates whining about Shakespeare's... interesting use of the English language today, I have something to say to all these complaints : SUCK IT UP. Yes, maybe it makes your brain hurt in a horrible way, but after a little while it starts to make some sense and you can sort of figure out what he means before you look to the bottom of the page to see what in the world he's talking about. In a way it's really amazing, the way he uses language. He sees connections between words that a lot of other people never would. It's bending the rules of English as we know it, using words in a way that they were probably never meant to be used but somehow it works, and it's a humbling experience to read something this prodigy of English came up with. Yes, as Murry_Uh said, many people will never see beyond the novelty of the words to the meaning of the story. But if you can try to understand what he's saying and what he means, and soak up as much of his odd diction as possible, you'll be a much better writer for it. This is like math: it gives you a pounding headache and you hate it and it makes you cry when you don't get it, but when it finally clicks, it's astounding how good it feels to understand it. So try to make the most of this, paying attention to his word choice can be amusing; constantly griping about can't. C'mon, guys, this is FUN.
