Whatever genius he is we should read him critically like any other English writer. He was living in that age when England began to set colonies worldwide and he was not critical of any of the misgivings of English or he had no foresight to see what colonialism will do in future. We will get clear mark in his plays of racism, apartheid and colonial mentality. And that his characterization is also questionable. Unfortunately there is a language of awe, over admiration in the mouthy professors of English in Bangladesh. Even in America students need not to go study Shakespeare as much we do. Christopher Merrill told us in an adda.
Shakespeare never used London or any other cities of England in his plays. He used other European and Continental cities there i.e. Milan, Venice etc and even his characters are named not as any English Malvolio, Othello, Desdemona, Iago, Antonio, Bassanio, Shylock, Cordelia etc( of course Henry, Richard and few more can be found in England but he dared not to set his plays in England!)
