who answers the question &#x27;how old are you?&#x27; like this? what does that even mean?<p>i love the way shakespeare densely muses on social and personal issues indirectly whilst playing with language and dialogue<p>i sometimes read his works like others read holy books, meaning i&#x27;ll just open up to a random spot and read a few lines until i find just an immeasurably unique use of language and close it satisified<p>shakespeare wrote for the pit and penny people, the work is intended to be fun, it just happens to also be brilliant
