Shakespeare Vs. Modern Text and Movies

When reading a play by Shakespeare  it is very different than reading a novel from modern times. Shakespeare has written his plays like poems. He incorporates many metaphors in his play that people are constantly despairing. A novel is what people grow up learning how to read, modern text is easy to read but Shakespearean text is harder to read but with practice it gets easier. A movie also helps understand what is happening in the play. A movie helps understand a play, but the movie is not always accurate to the actual play. A movie helps understand a play, but it is no substitute for the real thing.
