Summary

This quote suggests that the purpose of enduring Shakespeare's plays is not necessarily to enjoy or appreciate them fully, but rather to be able to recognize and quote his famous lines. It implies that encountering Shakespeare's works has become more of a task or a means of showcasing one's knowledge rather than a genuine engagement with the plays themselves. The quote may also criticize a shallow approach to Shakespeare, where his works are reduced to a collection of famous quotes rather than being appreciated for their depth and complexity.

Men have looked away from themselves and at things so long that they have come to esteem the religious, learned and civil institutions as guards of property, and they deprecate assaults on these, because they feel them to be assaults on property. They measure their esteem of each other by what each has, and not by what each is.
