Okay, that's not entirely correct. I was just displaying my dramatic penchant for double negatives. So you can't learn to cook an omelette by reading Macbeth, and Hamlet is not the best manual if you want to learn to change your sparkplugs. But there's no emotional situation he didn't express. There's no personality flaw that escaped his notice, no social inequity he didn't profile. Plus he was so delightfully flawed and scandalous himself. How could anybody teach us more?

Sorry, I should have clarified. I didn't understand the two things together...the "bit about a dog" and Shakespeare. :)
