Importance Of Shakespeare Today

Now and Days, Romeo and Juliet is being taught to ninth graders, but Why exactly do they need to read it? Some people (mostly teachers) think Shakespeare doesn’t need to be taught anymore, they also think Shakespeare isn't a true writer, that his work is fake and isn't actually wrote by Shakespeare. Yet, there is a reason it is still being studied by students, there is a message being ignored that students should learn. Reading Shakespeare shows us a message, a wide variety of vocab, and a different way to think.

If one was able to look into our classroom, they would see the kids rushing to the whiteboard to try and get a part that they can read. Spots filled, they anxiously wait to continue on with the story. Then that person would ask, “Why would they be so excited to read something so old and outdated?” Well to answer, it’s because Shakespeare’s work is still applicable to our lives today. Shakespeare should stay in the 9th grade curriculum, because it strongly relates to today's day and age, keeps the kids in the class active and paying attention, and helps convey a strong message that everyone should follow.

When Romeo and Juliet comes up in school curriculum any observer can see students eagerly signing up for roles, puzzling over Juliet’s eagerness to marry a stranger, or rehearsing their own unique interpretation of the play. In these moments students are released from the usual monotonous class period and allowed to enjoy a timeless piece of literature. While some may claim that Shakespeare is outdated or difficult to read, the positivities of including it in ninth grade curriculum far outweigh any struggles of comprehension.

Do you ever wonder why Shakespeare is still taught in high school. In high school, Shakespeare was shoved down our throats and I despised Shakespeare and his works. I thought that they were pointless and was just a way to torture high school students, but the more I think about what Shakespeare is trying to teach through his works. The more I respect and understand the themes and the language of his works. The more that you understand the more that you can relate, the more that you can relate the more that you can reflect on the things that you have learned. In this essay, I will argue that Shakespeare’s works are important to learn . I will support my argument by explaining the universal themes in Shakespeare’s

His work touched an extensive amount of different topics and themes, all of which are still relevant today. His writing is the foundation of some of the most classic literature, and a great amount of modern pieces can be traced back to his style and ideas in some way. His language deepens the analytical, reading and writing skills of young readers, and develops an appreciation for the progression of the English language through time. If Shakespeare were to be terminated from school curriculums, students would lose important, education enhancing aspects of English and would be unable to create a far more in-depth understanding of the literary work of the past and

William Shakespeare is regarded as one of the greatest poets and writers of his time and even one of the greatest ever with works such as Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and Romeo and Juliet. Although Shakespeare has been taught in schools for many years, and even all around the world, is Shakespeare's work really relevant for students in school today?

Literature is considered one of the greatest art forms in the world. It teaches us lessons about life, each other, and ourselves. One of the most famous playwrights to ever exist is William Shakespeare, who is most known for works such as Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. There is much controversy on whether or not Shakespeare’s works should still be taught in schools, since he died so long ago, and many people no longer consider him relevant. While Shakespeare has been deemed outdated and unfit for our modern world, we read his works because they can be applied to the lives of everyone, young or old, today.

While many high school students believe Shakespeare is not relevant today, I believe Shakespeare and his writings are relevant because they are a good influence and they bring people and countries closer together while expanding the reader’s vocabulary.

Shakespeare’s words are still the basis of society today. “Our doubts are traitors, and make us the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” These words were said in “Measure For Measure” by Lucio in Act 1, Scene 4. This quote and many others are still lived today. This quote was said when Lucio told Isabella to remove all of her doubts and use her feminine parts to get what she wants from Lord Angelo, her brother removed from his death sentence. In modern english, the quote would mean, “When you set your doubts aside, you can achieve greatness.” This quote is embodied by Charlotte Brown and The U.S. relations with Cuba. They show that Shakespeare is still relevant today.

It has been more than 400 years since William Shakespeare wrote his last play. Although multiple eras have past, his work is still extremely valued and relevant today. Shakespeare's multiple plays and poems are continuously readapted into modern day movies, tv shows, books, and art. Not only is his work used for entertainment, it is considered one of the most staple forms of English education in schools around the world. Although it is widely common to see Shakespeare's relevance today as him just being the "best author to ever live", Shakespeare is actually most popular due to the characters he created, the timeless themes he incorporated into his work , and how they influence us today.

In the American school systems, curriculum for High School English and even sometimes college literature, require that students read Shakespeare's plays. Most commonly, we read The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Why do High Schools require that their students read Shakespeare? Why do we still care about Shakespeare? The answer lies in the human condition. The human condition is what connects all homosapeians and allows us to call ourselves Human. We experience birth, in more ways than one; we grow, on spiritual levels as well as physical; we have emotions, unlike any other creatures on earth; we show aspiration; we have conflicts with one another,

In schools all over the country Shakespeare is being taught not only in high schools but also at the college level. My first thought of what to think of this is that Shakespeare shouldn’t be taught nearly as much as it is. There are various different sources severely less painful to teach and learn. But the more I researched and learned the importance of Shakespeare, the more I realized its benefits being taught in today’s society. Shakespeare's plays challenges students with difficult language and style, show a great connection to the knowledge of human behavior and offer a deep understanding into our society.

When you look around at the world today you have to ask yourself, would the world be the same without Shakespeare? Without him many of the cliches and words we use wouldn't exist. Even some of the books we read and the movies we watch wouldn't be the same without Shakespeare. William Shakespeare's plays should be in the 9th grade curriculum because they are still relevant to today's society.

Is Shakespeare Necessary?? From 1592 to 1601, Shakespeare has been writing to a wide range of people, but is he still necessary today? Although the majority of English scholars believe Shakespeare is a must-read historian legend, I believe many historians do not take into account the new modern books and technology that would affect people differently today and the characters in Shakespeare's’ novels. Modern books and technology are two of the main reasons why Shakespeare is not needed today.

William Shakespeare is one of the world 's most influential people to ever live. “BBC audience survey names Shakespeare as Britain 's Man of the Millennium.” (Andrews 2) Shakespeare’s works continue to be evident globally in modern society. Hundreds of years after William Shakespeare’s death, his influence continues to make an effect in the modern day English language, modern movies and film, and authors or artists today.
