Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quo

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.

She remembered the story from her childhood, about Adam and Eve in the garden, and the talking snake. Even as a little girl she had said - to the consternation of her family - What kind of idiot was Eve, to believe a snake?
