We study Shakespeare today because he was truly a brilliant writer. All of his plays had patterns woven into them, and they included hidden themes and intricate thought. In Shakespeare's time, a play was acted out every few weeks, so writers didn't have a lot of time to write complicated plays. Shakespeare however, was a mastermind at play-writing, and his vivid imagery and meaningful themes never fail to intrigue people, even today.

Shakespeare is a master of the plot, and a lot of his plays are still relevent today. Most of them are not extremely historically accurate, but they are extremely entertaining anyway.

Shakespeare is one brilliant writer and is one truly memorable in English history. His plays are still very popular. Romeo and Juliet and many other of his playts are still being performed all over the world. He is a legend.

It's important because Shakespeare is (whether or not we notice it) a large part of our culture. Even our language was affected by Shakespeare- many words, as well as turning some words into verbs that had only been nouns before and phrases that we use today didn't exist until Shakespeare wrote them down. Examples of phrases include: in a pickle, kill with kindness, laughing stock, naked truth, wild goose chase and the world's my oyster. A word that everyone uses is bedroom, some others include: madcap, unreal, swagger, puking, cold-blooded and luggage.
