Detailed explanation-1: -William Shakespeare lived in England while under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. During this time (1558-1603), England saw a rebirth in national pride, an artistic explosion and appreciation in poetry, literature, and theatre, international expansion, and victories over Spain, a powerful and despised rival.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shakespeare wrote about timeless themes such as life and death, youth versus age, love and hate, fate and free will, to name but a few. With the constantly changing world, we live in today these themes are perhaps more relevant than they have ever been.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shakespeare contributed to the standardization of the English language in the 17th and 18th centuries. As his work gained importance, correctly spelling words became more common. He created compound words, adverbs, and adjectives from verbs. Shakespeare added suffixes and prefixes to many words.
Detailed explanation-4: -His themes are timeless And again, these 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.
