Is Shakespeare Overrated?

Personnally, I don't think that any of us are in a position to answer this question since we are still in the process of learning to appreciate good playwrighting and literature in general. We have many years ahead of us before being able to truly grasp the so-called genius of William Shakespeare. From what little I know and from the two plays and sonnets I've read and studied by William Shakespeare, I honestly fail to see what the big fuss is about. I do agree that he was a genius, a revolutionary; for had he not been, we most likely wouldn't be writing about him in a highschool in Lebanon thousands of miles away from where he dealt. He has received more praise than any other playwright, he is the most quoted, most infulential and most studied playwright in the world, in any language. I don't think that any artist could desrve such praise and credit. Shakespeare did not think himself as a God and his objective was not to be seen as one either. He was talented, and surely he sits beside Mozart, DaVinci, Picasso, Moliere, among the greatest artists who ever lived, according to popular culture. But I am too ignorant to validate such a position. I can't appreciate or understand his genius enough to judge whether or not he deserves this seat. Isolated from the oustide world and its opinions, would I think that Shakespeare is a demi-god in his field? Most likely not, because I know too little.
