I can't imagine I would have enjoyed needing to be told about Shakespeare's influence on genre fiction (after the fact) nearly much as I did noticing Shakespeare's influence in genre fiction myself.
Teaching the classics first is more in keeping with the "teach a person to fish..." proverb in my opinion.
Telling someone the theme of their favorite SciFi novel is straight from The Tempest (giving them a fish) isn't nearly as effective (or impactful) as them discovering it for themselves.
