As an overly sensitive atheist of a younger generation, I almost stopped watching because the lecturer seemed a bit angry and aggressive, but I kept watching, and found the lecture illuminating and the arguments persuasive. I agree that we don't have to transplant our own modern ideas and theories onto Shakespeare in order to enjoy it , or learn something. If we only see in it what we already believe, we can never learn anything. Thank you Dr . Rappaport !
