Shakespeare

Shakespeare was an amazing playwright, and poet. Even Though he was alive during a period of very advanced technology he had written things that are still used today. An example of this is Hamlet. This play is an iconic play of both the renaissance era and the era in which we live in today. It is also used to teach seniors in every high school. Other plays of Shakespeare such as Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet are also widely renowned and used to teach English in the school system. Though Shakespeare did not only write plays most of his poems hold the same if not more renown throughout the English community. These poems include the unique type of poem that Shakespeare was famous for which was the Elizabethan or Shakespearean sonnet. These sonnets are a tough type of poem to right because the writer/author of the poem is confined to certain types of rules.One of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets is titled “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day”. This was one of the sonnets that were not titled, but the people who had the poems just titled it the first line of the poem; this is what is done to many untitled poems. Other than sonnets Shakespeare had written many other poems. Shakespeare was also the person who had changed the English language from middle to modern English. His courage to make new words that he wanted to and mold the language is the reason that the language is what it is today.
