Maybe it comes from those plays the poor teenagers have probably 
just been forced to study?

 I used to hate reading plays at school. We rarely got to see them actually
performed and it's just not the same reading them. It's no wonder so many
people view Shakespeare as boring having been made to read some of his plays
at school. Plays should be performed; books should be read.

And how many other people around here were forced to learn certain parts of
Shakespeare etc at school and can *still* quote the darn things? It really
makes you wish that other text book were written like that. I mean I'm doing
an MA in Medieval Studies but can I remember useful dates? no. Can I still
quote passages from the Merchant of venice and Macbeth that I learnt at
school - hell yes.
