@ChrisMayLA6@bookstodon I had that with Shakespeare. I had the same English language teacher for two years running in secondary school. She was totally obsessed with Shakespeare. We had to read at least two plays for our final exams. Being dutch I missed a lot of context (history, places), and couldn't get through Henry IV and another. So I went to the theatre with my mum instead. (not something everyone can afford). I can read it now, after ten years in England and more background. 1/2
