Shakespeare's plays were so popular because they contained comedy and drama. The comedies were the things people enjoyed at the time, while the dramas were just dramas. The comedies were like modern movies, while the tragedies were more like dramas. Shakespeare always knew how to blend the serious play with the funny play. Without comedy, drama stays, without comedy-drama also remains. Shakespeare was also prolific in producing many plays and also wrote many famous sonnets.
Shakespeare never wrote for a specific society, as other playwrights did. Compared to other playwrights, Shakespeare had flaws.
The effectiveness as a playwright, as in why his plays were so popular, is because his plays contained a lot of messages in every play. The most famous, of course, was the message of being 'taught one's mind, speech and heart' (Othello Act IV, scene V, lines 57-57). Everybody has learned their lesson of why people are taught the mind, trust, and faith, speech and heart.
Shakespeare did not write for the time he lived in.
Here's an answer:
"As you know, I am an upstanding member of the academic team, basketball team, volleyball team, student counsel, and future engineer club. Being an outstanding student and athlete, I hope that you will find my objection to your cancelling of my senior class prom compelling. My family and I have attended church with you and your son, who graduated last year, my entire life. I've always found you to be a reasonable and caring man, who always has his students' best interest at heart. Prom is a right of passage for every high school student. It is a night to celebrate the friendships, long years of gruesome school work, and the coming of our adult lives. We have worked extremely hard on the fundraisers to pay for prom. It would be a waste of all the time and effort put into it, if you cancel prom."
Ethos means to show the ethics of the situation or your good character.

Hoped I helped!
To be able to analyze the elements used by William Carlos William´s in his poem: "The Red Wheelbarrow", we must first understand these two literary and poetic movements that affected the way that literature was written from the end of the 19th century to the 20th century.
First, modernism is a literary movement that originates at the end of the 19th century and influences most of the 20th century, especially writers from Europe and North America. In essence, modernism was born from the philosophical principles and ideals set forth by such thinkers as Sigmund Freud and Ernst Mach and it believes that literature needed to break off from the traditions and ideals that had been present in the past. Particularly, they were very much influenced by the aftereffects of World War I and believed in going into a simpler form of writing, more concise and direct and less filled with prose and abstract ideas. On the other hand lies Imagism, an Anglo-American 20th century movement that affected poetry mostly and helped to jumpstart modernism in literature. In essence, Imagism believed in the need to break off from certain poetic traditions that had been set during the Romantic and Victorian eras, they proposed a much simpler use of verse forms, instituting the free verse style, and believed in the need for the use of more direct and simpler images and an economy of language. Finally, they believed in the observation and importance of underlining the characteristics and essence of a single object through the simplification of the elements that make part of said object. One example, in another form of art, would be Cubism. One of the most important representatives of this movement, precisely, was William Carlos Williams.
In the poem, The Red Wheelbarrow, you can see these elements proposed by both the modernists and imagists. It is a really short poem, each stanza with only two lines, with a single object being identified and mentioned; the wheelbarrow. All focus is on this particular element and all defining objects around it only serve to underline the characteristics that make it up. There is also the use of very simple language, very simple imagery and a freestyle that makes its reading lead you to think of only one thing: the wheelbarrow.
What best describes the central idea of Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman?"
A. Women are just as capable as men and deserve equal rights.
~Hope this answers your question!~
