relevance of shakesspeare to 21st shakespeare
i don’t think he is as relevant to 21st centuryt as long ago because no many people read old english and we really don’t have to because our time is so much further and we have learnt new things that are much more relevant and needed to todays society.
we should only learn about him if he have to so that we know more about the hsitory and a little on the plays of that time after that we shouldn’t have to use it at allbecause it is something no one uses in public places.
what are typical features that all shakespeare plays must include?
most of the things they must include a deep plot that really touches people. either love, death or comedy and true feelings that people use everyday and typical plots
