The human condition is unchanging. Shakespeare was a master of understanding what it means to be a human being on planet Earth. He illustrates our tendencies and weaknesses with such wisdom that no matter how much our world changes, the truth in his writing will always be present. He wasn't a historian, although his works are set in a historical context. He was "The Bard." The greatest English storyteller who ever lived. He tells us who we are.
Shakespeare's stories and plays are still relevant today because they were such an important part of history. Today we use Shakespeare's work as a learning tool in both reading and acting. Actors use Shakespeare’s plays today because they tell interesting stories with dramatic characters that are entertaining to act. We still read Shakespeare’s many stories such as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Taming of the Shrew, to name a few. These stories are timeless classics because of their use of drama, tragedy, comedy, mystery all mixed into one story. His writing is so entertaining and he is still relevant in pop culture today. We should continue to read Shakespeare because he was such an influential writer of his time, he has influenced us too. People still are inspired by his work and it helps us learn the way things were back in his day. Shakespeare’s works are important pieces or history and literature that’s should not be forgotten about any time soon.
