In
Romeo and Juliet, I just found his writing style focusing too much on dialogues concerning "beauty of the heroine" and "love" (or shall I call it lust) It got really irritating for me to keep on reading the whole thing when he was saying the same thing again and again; of course, the words were different and well choosen, especially the comparison of her with flowers, blah blah blah, but they all meant the same thing which was that to Romeo, Juliet was the prettiest girl that ever existed on earth.
I think that many people like him because he touches the topic "love between a man and a woman" or shall I call it lust? It is something they do like to have a belief in and find it fascinating. Oh well, everyone has a right to have his own believes. But Shakespearian style and his works are just not my cup of tea.
Ahh ok. Well fair enough Pensive
The world would be a rather dull palce if everyone liked the same things as everyone else.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

The content of his plays embody every weakness and imperfection of man, yet he verses them in such a perfect, mellifluous way that we seem to rejoice in and be entertained by our follies.
erhem, that's an interesting observation. Never thought about it that way.
I love Shakespeare and I love his language, but somehow the deeper meanings often escape me because my brain has to spend so much capacity on decoding the language 
So I suppose I'm somewhere in between Pensy and drama?

Nowhere. Harry will prove it to the Wizarding World that Voldemort should be named, ought to be named and there is nothing wrong in naming a dead person.
