Summary/Abstract: A Contemporary Understanding of Bill Shakespeare. This article is about choice. When approaching any topic there are two possibilities. In the first case, things are taken seriously. Accordingly, concepts such as interest, education and research should be common-sense. Discussing any cultural legacy should be done with care. Speaking about a topic should be done with a sense of propriety. In the second case nothing is really taken seriously because there seems to be lack of real interest in the topic. As such, a high degree of ignorance becomes rather evident. This, ultimately results in fundamental misunderstanding of the cultural legacy, and, of course, any discourse related to the matter seems to be severely distorted. The legacy of Shakespeare is not exception to these rules. One may try a sincere approach or, one may try to re-interpret it. Any re-interpretation may prove to be highly problematic and thus highly questionable whether they be in education, arts or history.
