While Shakespeare seems as an archaic to many of us… a simple question imposed, such as, “Who was Shakespeare?” can perplex us.
Shakespeare was an
English poet and playwright who was innately talented. He was able to use words
with high exceptionality to create the world’s most eloquent and influential
pieces, encompassing 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and
several other poems. But the question remains, was Shakespeare’s work successful
of leaving a mark behind?
As we study Shakespeare’s
work today, we notice his usage of the conventional style in his plays and
sonnets. He incorporated figurative language with emphasis on metaphors and rhetorical
phrases in his work, thus he has earned many ennobles, such as the “greatest
writer in the English language”, “the world's pre-eminent dramatist”. He is also
England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".
Fact: " A bard is
another word for poet, and William is known as one of the greatest poets in the
world. Therefore, he is known as "The Bard." "Of Avon" is
added to this name because William was born in Stratford-upon-Avon. When the
two names are put together, William's nickname becomes "The Bard of Avon."
Shakespeare’s plays are placed in one of three categories; Histories, Comedies, or Tragedies. In his plays, William often contains elements of all three categories. He blended common issues into histories, seriousness into comedies, and humor into tragedies. Romeo and Juliet is the most popular play written by him, it helped inspire other works from playwrights.

Today, people still praise Shakespeare’s work, primarily
because his writing caliber. His work is still taught to students, his plays
are still played by actors, and most importantly, the reminiscent Victorian ambiance
is still alive today, at the prominent restaurant, Shakespeare and Co.
