I don't yet entirely either, but more and more. You have to really dig into it. Pick a play you like and then pick it apart. Get a commentated version like the Arden or New Cambridge edition and read the introduction and footnotes. Get a book on how to read plays (like Wallis and Shepherd). Read about Elizabethan theater and the differences to plays today, etc. As you do, more and more lights go on - and you get more and more used to Shakespeare's language.

I also enjoyed it, but I couldn't claim to appreciate Shakespeare on an intellectual level

"Thumbs up if you're watching this because of English class."

Well, yes, but I suspect it is not like many of you. I am back at the university for my second MA and don't have to read or watch this play. I had to read another one and caught the fire. Unlike in high school, when I had to read this play and hated it, I "get it" now and now study Shakespeare outside of class, on my own initiative.

@oliness: An unfair question as theatre was for the Romans a Greek nonsense, but still in their spheres Caesar, Tacitus, Livius and Lucan can match with Shakespeare; and when the two nations are compared Rome always wins; for example: The English lost their lordship over India due to taxation boycotts of Gandhi; this could never happen to the Romans, as not even sweet Jesus dared to defy Roman taxation but was still sent to crucifixion; not to mention the wars of the Romans.
