I think the article was full of scat. It is absolutely not necessary to understand every nuance of each word for the casual non-scholar.
I lead newbies to the plays in a specific way. First, forget iambic pentameter, rhyme, poetry, and all, and just read it through as paragraphs, instead of lines of a poem. You can see the lightbulb go on in their faces when it becomes a regular play for them and is suddenly accessible to anyone.
I miss teaching. Sigh.
