Recently Ive been learning about William Shakespeare and his works in English. He was an incredible playwright who was born in (approximately) 564 and died in 66. He has been credited for adding (approximately) 3000 words to the English language. He wrote some amazing renowned plays which I have been studying like Hamlet, A Midsummer Nights Dream, Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night, to name a few. These plays usually fall into three genres History, tragedy and comedy. These plays are well known for their incredible plots, themes and relatability. People (especially Teens) are becoming increasingly less interested in ShakespeareΒs works which is why Ive made it my duty to get people interested in Shakespeare again using this essay by exploring one of his plays and giving reasons why you should read it. To rekindle peoples interest in Shakespeare, I think we should
introduce them to Shakespeares Comedy plays as you really enjoy the characters and the way they react. The play Twelfth Night which falls into the comedy genre, is a really interesting play, one that I personally like with a dynamic plot and hilarious characters, which is a good example of a play we should use to get people interested in Shakespeare again. I believe teenagers of this modern age will most enjoy this play as it contains love which people often try to chase, confusion, humour, jealousy and determination. In this play, a woman named Viola disguises herself as a man under the alias of Cesario since she becomes shipwrecked and needs to fend for herself. Then she works for a duke who loves a lady named Olivia and while trying to get them together she finds out her brother who was in the shipwrecked with her was not dead and they all receive what they want.
