What about a modern performance of a Shakespearean play could be changed without affecting the play's meaning?

Answer:

We could change the language and adapt it to reflect the contemporary English we use nowadays. That would make the play more understandable, especially for the young people and wake up their interest for the theatre.  

We could change the setting, that is, time and place of some plays and adapt it to contemporary surroundings, without changing the topic of the plays, as Shakespearean problems and inner struggles are still present in the 21st century, only in different ways.

For example, we could change characters' professions or some circumstances without changing the plot of the story. Or, perhaps, try to represent some contemporary family issues, by readapting Hamlet into a boy who is fighting against his stepfather.

5 sentences on respect
DENIUS [597]
Respect means a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicted by their abilities, qualities or achievements. Respect is a meaningful and powerful word. We all want others do treat us with respect in return we shall treat them with respect. The opposite of respect is disrespect which has a much more stronger effect. Disrespect can be defined as having a lack of respect, being impolite, rude and overall intolerant.

In the poem “The Man He Killed', why does the poet wish if he had met his
lora16 [44]

Answer:

"The Man He Killed" was written by the British Victorian poet and novelist Thomas Hardy, and first published in 1902. A dramatic monologue, the poem's speaker recounts having to kill a man in war with whom he had found himself "face to face." Talking casually throughout, the speaker discusses how this man could easily have been his friend, someone he might have, under different circumstances, had a drink with in an "ancient inn." Struggling to find a good reason for shooting the man, the speaker says it was "just so"—it was just what happens during war. The poem thus highlights the senselessness and wasteful tragedy of human conflict, and is specifically thought to have been inspired by the events of the Boer War in South Africa. Effect of war is the major theme of this poem. The poem is about the soldier killing another man because they are fighting on opposite fronts in the war. Ironically, the speaker fails to justify his action. He simply states that the deceased was his foe.
