Not exactly or entirely.
I don’t like Shakespeare because I studied Romeo and Juliet, likely Act 1 Scene 1 put me off, the thumb biting exchange just seemed so overlong and pointless. I wasn’t a fan before high school so while it put me off Shakespeare, I wasn’t really change my opinion. Even now the only things I like about Shakespeare are 10 Things I Hate About You and “Let’s BooBoo” from The World’s End.
I had a read a few very abridged versions of Charles Dickens’ stories. I had some in class assignment looking at a chapter of Great Expectations, the one describing Wemmick’s house. Maybe not the whole chapter, maybe just a few pages. One page had what seemed to be one long, convoluted sentence. Strangely, that was enough to put me off reading Dickens. Just reading it, I can still watch adaptations.
