You've got it camille otherwise one couldn't just read Shakespeare, we'd have to go see every play to 'get it' I guess.

[threadrot]You can't completely 'get' Shakespeare unless you see him performed.  Same with any play.  The idea that you can study Shakespeare simply by reading the text is one of the major issues I have with how he's taught in modern education.[/threadrot]

I'd venture to say that there are multiple Shakespeares.  One comes across in performance, another comes across when you can savor words on the page at your own pace.

If we were in Elizabethan England it might be different, but we're in a time/place where the printed page is also a key site of Shakespeare reception.
