Dramatic fiction - William Shakespeare made his biggest mark writing dramatic love stories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Shakespeare was a dramatist of note who lived by writing things to quote.
Shakespeare is all big themes, like the most amazing love, or the most scary war.
Shakespeare's stories are still very strong. He structured fantastic stories about things that were fundamental to the human being and psyche.
What we know is that Shakespeare wrote perhaps the most remarkable body of passionate love poetry in the English language to a young man.
At his heart, Shakespeare was a YA author. So many of his plays are set with high school-aged characters. He understood the passion, the confusion and drama that marks that life stage.
English dramatic literature is, of course, dominated by Shakespeare; and it is almost inevitable that an English reader should measure the value of other poetic drama by the standards which Shakespeare has already implanted in his mind.
First of all, Shakespeare is about pleasure and interest. He was from the first moment he actually wrote something for the stage, and he remains so.
This is not writing at all. Indeed, I could say that Shakespeare surpasses literature altogether, if I knew what I meant.
Shakespeare is definitely my first love.
Shakespeare wrote about love. I write about love. Shakespeare wrote about gang warfare, family feuds and revenge. I write about all the same things.
