Well, okay, then. Find me an original story today, in modern literature, and tell me the plot line isn't borrowed from someone else. Those romances people read all the time about how the girl from the mob falls in love with the boy from the wealthy art dealer? Romeo and Juliet. Big corporate bosses get sabotaged from beneath their own noses? Julius Caesar. Man gets really high one night and envisions himself with a beautiful woman and goes romping around a city? Midsummer Nights Dream. Father loses everything to his greedy children? King Lear.
The stories are classics because everyone can relate to them. It's not that he's overrated, it's that he's under taught. No, you don't have to analyze it within an inch of its life, but you do need to read carefully to understand what is being said. He's the king of pun, he's the king of wit.
