Shakespeare's works are highly regarded for many, many reasons. I barely even consider influence to be one of them, although his creativity and uses of imagery through the english language could be called "influence" I suppose. Even still, saying that most modern romance, which is generally formulaic tripe, is better than Romeo and Juliet? 

You sir, have no credibility to speak about art. Feel free to say you dislike Shakespeare, but don't pretend like his works don't hold immense literary merit.


Until you tell me in what exactly is Hamlet better than Game of Thrones for example, From the perspective of a 21th centruy person. I'll regard you simply like another "it was good in the year 1714, therefore it's good in 2014 too" people.
