Comment: Re: SHK 18.0416 Degree in Shakespeare
In a recent encounter on the current Big Brother show one 19 year old
housemate called Brian was referred to as a Romeo. He replied "What'd
ya mean?" It was explained that Romeo and Juliet was a play. He asked
if Romeo was a singer in a pop band called "So Solid Crew". No, came
the reply, Romeo was a character in a play written by Shakespeare
hundreds of years ago. "What's this geezer called Shakespeare who was
around yonks ago (years ago) got to do with anything? Who is he anyway?"
He was later to be heard saying "If that bloke talks about museums and
art once more I shall lose the will to live!"
A colleague of mine referred to attitude like Brian's as "aggressive
ignorance."

As a teacher who is also a Shakespeare freak, I never give up! I suggest
a closed in room and no food until he admits to reading or watching a
Shakespeare play! Then torture till he admits to enjoying it! This
will not make him appreciate Shakespeare in any way but boy, it will be
satisfying to all those of us who have to endure the torture of reality
TV rammed down our throats ad nauseum!
