Why are Shakespeare's plays considered difficult for modern students to understand?

English
1 answer:
Ivahew [28]3 years ago
6 0
The reason hun is because Shakespeare uses an early form of the English language. There are a few differences between today's English and Shakespeare's Early Modern English. He uses words such as thee, thy, lord, thou, art, etc which is complicated for us to understand. Also, many of Shakespeare's plays were written in iambic pentameter which makes his writings much more difficult to interpret. Another thing is that he invented new words in his writings, over 1,000 words he invented.

I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped.
NemiM [27]
<span>“By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my own voice . . . .”

His nerves are unstrung, he trembled at the sound of his own voice, this could mean many things however it is  likely he is Saying (or Thinking) things that scare him when snapping back to reality, like a man who was about to commit suicide but then remembers reality and he fears his own mind of what he was thinking.


“Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more . . . .”
 sounds cool, but is too vague.
</span>
<span>“[T]here was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors.” This is close to the first one, he sees how far he is to madness, but is still on the edge and not insane Yet. However it's not as clear as the first one I listed

<span>“I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me . . . .” displays nothing.</span>

In what way do rivers symbolize people in "The Negro Speaks of Rivers"?
Irina18 [472]
I'd say the answer is A) like rivers, people keep moving and finding new paths.
He wants to say that even black people will manage to find a good future, following a new path, the same way any other human being will.
The other examples do not seem correct to me.
