Replying to Shakespeare's plays must never be studied in school

I have an oral on Othello by Shakespeare about the characters personalities. I cant understand anything of want they want to mean.Im not even a university student that studying literature and humanities. I tried searching the web and the only thing came up was essays on the personnalities and perception of the world which is not what im looking for.

Ok anyone with me? Who think that we should ban teachers for using Shakespeare for essays (except for baccs and masters and Ph.D.)?
