In one of the first scenes in Romeo and Juliet, supposedly the greatest work of literature in the English language, a servant approaches Romeo asking for help reading a list, a list of names he is supposed to invite to the house of the Capulets, which triggers a tragic chain of events.
Does this earinged hack expect us to believe an illiterate servant walked out the door with the list in his hand, only to realize a while after that HE CAN'T READ THE GODDAMN THING?
Why is this shit lauded when it doesn't even follow basic reason?

It's a deliberate self-insert allusion to his own hackery. He was, indeed, a genius

Protip: no-one reads Shakespeare for the plot. His are always ridiculously contrived and slapdash.

You have to remember that Shakespeare wrote plays to be performed in front of the most degenerate audiences you can imagine. People showing up to these events were rowdy, drunk, high, and ready to party.
An event like that was fucking HILARIOUS to those people.

yeah, I mean, in the Comedy of Errors how did they not recognize that the twins were probably wearing different clothes, or if they were wearing the same clothes how are we supposed to believe they were dressed the same? Awful. What a hack

Either this is bait or you have no reading comprehension. Capulet gives the servant the list and then leaves immediately, the servant states that he cannot read and says he will find someone who can "I must to the learned." At that moment Romeo walks into the room and the servant asks him for help.

Yeah, like, how is Richard III not Richard II's kid? wtf

In The Tempest are we just supposed to believe that there are magical spirits on this island? WTF? there's no such thing!

Sorry to hear you're an idiot OP. This is an interesting book that poses questions about the plots of various plays.
There are simple errors such as Bohemia being on the coast in The Winter's Tale and clocks that strike the hour in Julius Caesar. Or there are more complex issues such as how time passes in Othello.
