The work of Shakespeare is meant to entertain. But just as the audience shall surely find amusement, the work of William Shakespeare is meant to conjure thought to those who experience it.
For its sophisticated craft and careful wording, it is shameful that Shakespeare's words should be twisted from their own original construction to satisfy a less thoughtful contemporary demographic. The readers of Shakespeare were made to think. The compromise infused by a bastardized contemporary edition limits the pentameter and underlying themes used to promote the broader themes of Shakespeare's works.
