Question

Describe the reaction you have to the works of Shakespeare. Why do you think his legacy as an author endures? In what ways may his impact be overstated? Think of the works from Shakespeare you have read or seen, including both live plays and films. What impact have those works had on you?

Answer 1

I personally have a deep love for Shakespeare. I think his legacy as an author continues to endure for so many reasons, his works were elaborate, complicated and intriguing. His characters were very relate-able as well as all the external and internal conflicts. A quote from Shakespeare that has impacted my life is from Hamlet," To thine own self be true." I love this quote because it is telling you to always be true to yourself, instead of falling for acceptance and seeking the approval of others.

If you need anymore help or would like further explanation just let me know! :)
