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

English

Ivahew [28]3 years ago

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.

nalin [4]

Answer:

The guards character in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles are indifferent, They are eternally indifferent and ready to serve.

Explanation:

The guards follow orders and are indifferent as well as innocent. Which means they can serve any power that be and have no particular loyalty to Creaon.

The guards are like men left  untouched by the tragedy that unfolds in front of them. each of the guards are indistinguishable from the cohorts.They are three guards can be called the 'indifferent trio'.

When the chorus notes that the tragedy is "no skin of their backs", the indifferent trio remembers the guardsmen from Anouilh's other tragedies like the guards whose chatter about the harvest close his medea. The chorus made this clear in the prologue and epilogue.
