I have the patience of a peanut, and it takes way too long to figure out what he is saying. That is especially true with Shakespeare. It often makes me like the original a little bit better. I love peeling back the layers of the story and seeing how a different author takes a story that is well known and makes it their own.Įven when I’m not the biggest fan of the source material, I still love a good retelling. One of my favorite genres of books to read is retellings, especially when I am familiar with the source material. So it is no wonder that in the current era of writing, there have been countless Shakespeare retellings. The plays are studied in school, performed every day, and talked about constantly. There is no doubt that Shakespeare has has a massive impact on literature and culture in our world.
