• Shakespeare’s Language is Universally Engaging

Shakespeare's work helped to establish the English language as a major literary language, contributing to its importance in the modern world.

Some of popular phrases:

• tounge-tied
• a heart of gold
• break the ice

2. His themes are timeless

William Shakespeare's themes are still relevant today – love, death, ambition, power, fate, free will, just to name a few. So Shakespeare's works are timeless and universal. That also makes them relatable.

He wanted to find new ways to describe the intricacies of life and the messiness of human emotions it's those core feelings that we all relate to.

" To be, or not to be? That is the question. "

Hamlet , Act 3, Scene 1

*Быть или не быть?

3. Shakespeare Shows Us The Power Of Love And Hate

The main message of Romeo and Juliet

Love  is a violent, ecstatic, overpowering force that supersedes all other values, loyalties, and emotions.

In their love, not reconciled to the prejudices of antiquity, there is a high moral victory.

"Did my heart love till now?" 

Romeo and Juliet , Act 2, Scene 2

*Любило ли мое сердце прежде?

4. Shakespeare Teaches Us About Ourselves

No one understands the  human condition quite like Shakespeare . By exploring the good, the bad, and the ugly in his characters, he helps us to better understand our own emotions and motivations.

In a literal sense, the phrase means that it is not fate, but weakness of the  character  that forces a person to act against his will.

"The fault dear brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves"

Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene III

Shakespeare’s characters are complex and unique. We don’t always agree with their actions, but we can sympathize with them because Shakespeare makes it clear how they got to where they were. For example, in one scene it may seem as though a character is purely evil, but by the end of the play you might have a new perspective
