“IMAGINING A WORLD WITHOUT SHAKESPARE”
William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright who is
considered one of the greatest writers to ever use the English language.
He is also the most famous playwright in the world, with his plays being
translated in over 50 languages and performed across the globe for
audiences of all ages. Known colloquially as "The Bard" or "The Bard of
Avon," Shakespeare was also an actor and the creator of the Globe
Theatre, a historical theatre, and company that is visited by hundreds of
thousands of tourists every year.
Shakespeare is without a doubt one of the main figures in British and
world culture. Not only was he an impressively productive and efficient
man, writing 37 plays and 154 sonnets in his 52 years, he also managed
to leave a permanent mark on how we live, speak and experience culture
today. His plays have been reimagined countless times into films, novels
and operas, and his sonnets are still perceived as some of the most
romantic poetry in the cannon, but whether or not you’re a fan of his
work (and it’s difficult not to be,) chances are Shakespeare has had a
greater influence on your daily life than you may realise. Like,
Shakespeare invented many of the words we use today and almost about
10% words of English. Secondly, Shakespeare raised questions about
prejudice and tolerance in his works. Shakespeare’s work helped Freud
to develop his psychoanalysis. Shakespeare’s own emotional
understanding and empathy can help other people develop social skills.
Shakespeare has greatly influenced the way we interpret history.
His works span tragedy, comedy, and historical works, both in poetry
and prose. And although the man is the most-recognized playwright in
the world. Shakespeare occupies a unique position in world literature.
Other poets, such as Homer and Dante, and novelists, such as Leo
