I think it’s just a bunch of literature graduates who are creating this hype around Shakespeare and sort of circlejerking and making it like a big thing so that their useless degree somehow remains relevant

Wow didn’t know that - do you have a source for this?
Some words I can easily imagine replacing with synonyms, but how were people describing stuff like “exposure” or “suspicious” before Shakespeare, I’m dumbfounded :D
Sure, here’s one source: https://www.shakespeare.org.uk/explore-shakespeare/shakespedia/shakespeares-words/. While it’s not an academic paper, it’s a registered charity, so I think it’s probably a pretty reliable source
Really interesting! Thanks!
