I have long been a fan of Shakespeare. The bard had a way with words that, in my humble opinion, has remained unrivaled. As a high school student, the words were sometimes confusing, but I had teachers that sparked a love of the words in Shakespeare’s plays and deeper studies in college opened up my admiration of the playwright. I sometimes wonder at my life choices, as I have seemingly wandered far away from writing and literature analysis, but some of my past readings have stuck with me for the long run.
