INTRODUCTION

Who hasn't heard of Shakespeare in this day and age? Despite the fact that we are separated by centuries, the meaning and importance of the difficulties of the heroes that Shakespeare tells us about exist at the present day. However, few people are aware that he did not consider himself great, and thus did not elevate his works to the level of elite literary masterpieces. Shakespeare wrote largely for the public and did not seek glory through his writings. If you look through all of his works, you'll find that there is no enumeration; instead, the writer, like a skilled builder, distributes equal quantities of meaning and builds it in a way that a layperson may grasp. The works of Shakespeare can be compared to music. The writer uses the same melody and motive across all of his works, but this does not imply that he is primitive; rather, the writer attempts to pull hundreds of various sounds from a single sound, as if he is experimenting. Even when reading Shakespeare's poems, you begin to notice that a particular piece of music emerges in your thoughts. It's little surprise that his poems have been dubbed "the most melodious" by current commentators. However, the melody is not the most significant aspect of poetry; the message is. Music, or rather certain sounds, simply serve to help the reader understand the characters' emotions: mad passion, tranquility, anger, and so on. The writer's entire body of work is in tune. Shakespeare was a master at incorporating imagery into his writing. As an example, he compares youth to morning, spring, the beginning of a new life, beauty to soft flower petals, and wilting like autumn leaves. His works have been staged in theaters all around the world. And the actors consider themselves successful when they play the lead roles in plays. Films based on Shakespeare's writings are produced in a modern interpretation. Shakespeare began his creative career by writing comedies and chronicles, before moving on to tragedies, which gave him recognition. Shakespeare's popularity stemmed from the fact that he addressed the subject of man and his values. As a result, Shakespeare has left a significant cultural legacy for future generations; he makes you think and search deep into your soul.
