That's the great thing about the Shakespeare plays - they can be enjoyed on a lot of levels.

I found that the analysis that took place as part of my exam curriculum really took the layers off and started me thinking a lot more about the motivation of the characters. When you're having to write an essay about love as portrayed in Much Ado About Nothing you come to realise what a complicated story he wrote and just how different the characters are from each other.

Now, watching any of the plays always leaves me thinking about the underlying issues involved.
