I'm looking to get into Shakespeare. My question is: how difficult is he to pick up? I read a couple of his plays back in high school, but that was 8 years ago and they were modern English versions.
I've read the KJV Bible, Plato, Descartes, no Aristotle, and I can read old English quite well. Would I be able to comprehend Shakespeare's works?

Not that difficult, he's nothing but bones now so maybe bring a bucket and you'll be right

Only issue would be he references Ovid and other Greek myths sometimes. But yes you'll be able to understand and get value from him.

People are usually not aware of the fact that Plato wrote dialogues. We cannot say Plato said this or that. He wrote down what others said.

There's not a chance you'd ever enjoy Shakespeare without having studied Aristotle's Physics for at least a month.
