What is so great, The Shakespeare anyway?

What is so great, The Shakespeare anyway?

The answer is simple. All.

Robert Graves (author of the wonderful historical novel-”I, Claudius “) once said:”It was noticeable that the Shakespeare that is really very good, despite all the people who say that it is very good. ”

It is undeniable that it requires some effort. Although the professional linguist, and life-long admirer, too difficult to get into his work, when I’I have been away from it for too long – russian brides. But it’s only a matter of a few pages when reading or a few minutes to get used to tracking its old-fashion style. And then the world opens up a unique luster.
You can change or accentuate your style with the help of the high quality.

His power over words, it is unequaled. Not only in floral Elizabethan vein, but also in simple statements.
What could be simpler than”To be or not to be “? And yet it sums up one of the greatest confusion of human existence.

It is not for nothing that after more than 400 years, is still one of the most quoted authors. Where else you could find a gem like this:

\ “Death lies on her, as early frost after all the sweetest flowers of the field. ”

His heroes are larger than life, and yet totally convincing. Most of us know what it’s like to be so madly in love Romeo and Juliet, we almost all feel Lear’s unbearable pain of losing beloved man. Many of them have experience of madness Othello’s jealousy or thought afterlife as Hamlet. If we are honest we know ourselves again and again, good and bad, sweet and bitter. No other writer has such range and depth.

Very few writers have the big power comedy and tragedy. Unfortunately, our dismal state of education and when his constant wordplay too clever for us. This is our loss. On the other hand, we can still laugh, playing as Midsummernight’s Dream or the subjugation of poor women (political correctness party). Falstaff is really ridiculous, unforgettable nature.

The biggest benefit for me is his deep understanding of humanity and understanding. Lady Macbeth is one of the worst characters in world literature. Yet he succeeds to the poor, as is trying to wash imaginary blood on the hands. Macbeth’s contemplation of life is undoubtedly one of the best speeches dark sides of existence in vain. Yet, Macbeth, for all his shortcomings as a man gets to the end and die honest death.

However, there is a very valid objection to make. The modern intellectual is painfully absent chants of excrement, mutilation and fornication. It is undeniable that these pillars of modern culture, are noticeably absent Shakespeare’s work. I was surprisingly strange idea that when closed dark holes of our time, people will again respect the lack of obscenity as a blessing, not failure.
