Are there any abridged versions of Shakespeare? I don't really care to read the filler.

Btw I would define the filler as comedic relief, violence, stage directions, puns, sex scenes, soliloquies, asides, subplots, dialogue, etc.

Don't forget nonsensical supernatural themes. Nobody can take a scene featuring a ghost seriously.

Shut the fuck up retard. What do you think Faust was, or any myth? Any people? A distinction between national myth and reality, or Opera or practicality, is the distinction of a poor state of mind. One should not be surprised in seeing (these) things, they are already there, present in nature. "See deep enough, and you will see musically." What great mood ever assails you, that does not feel like a song? That is reality, THAT is normal. What do you think praying is? You think it doesn't require you to BELIEVE in it? To die for anything requires belief in it, obviously, but for some such revelation only occurs at the moment of death. In the facing of the temporal suddenly, and freightfully to many--; This injustice of understanding, to be frightened by death, is itself a particular soul of this world.
