Plays are meant to be seen and heard. Shakespeare was never meant to be read silently on the page in a classroom. That's why there are so many students who find him difficult, dry and boring. All they see is a huge language barrier with many unfamiliar words and an unnatural (to us) sentence structure. In order to really get Shakespeare, it's important to bring the characters and the story to life, to act them out, to give them flesh and blood. Once you get past the language, it's amazing how many of the characters and their stories are completely relevant to today. Hear Shakespeare and see Shakespeare, never just read it!

There are certainly too many words in the English lexicon to only use each of them but once.
Only once, in this line from Much Ado About Nothing: "She doth indeed; my daughter says so: and the ecstasy hath so much overborne her that my daughter is sometime afeared she will do a desperate outrage to herself" He uses "afraid" 42 times.
