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

1 answer:

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.

Look at the last two lines of the excerpt above. Do you agree that there is “no sweeter sight

BaLLatris [955]

I cannot read the lines, because you did not post them, however, you gave me enough to work with to understand your question.

My answer would be:

Yes, I do agree. There is no sweeter sight than a man's own native country. Just imagine soldiers coming back from war, imagine how relieved and relaxed and happy they must be to see the land they call home.<span />

Otrada [13]

The themes present in the poem "Oranges" by Gary Soto include love, maturation and poverty. The poem is an account of a first date between a young boy and girl. Although Soto never explicitly uses the word "love" to describe the relationship between the young couple, the emotion saturates the poem.
