Yes I do agree with this article, for many reasons. One reason is that it states in the article that Shakespeare is the greatest play write of all time. Another thing I agree with the article about is that his plays are better understood when preformed instead of read. Craven, a professor at UTSA says, “his plays were written to be preformed.

Some people believe that social status entitles them to love with an equal status person. Duke Orsino is an important man who believes that Olivia’s love belongs to him, just because they are both powerful rulers.

Towards the beginning of the novel, we see that Robert

Romantic Love is one of the most foretold misconceptions in the world. There is more love shown between family, friends, and common traits. It is shown in Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo countlessly just followed romantic love, and blinded his way of common sense and pride. Love does not supercede all else. Near the middle of the story, Romeo is shown to change his romantic love so easily, it loses his common sense. Romeo doesn’t understand what romantic love is. Common sense supersedes romantic love

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Shakespeare writes about a tragic love story between two star-crossed lovers. His writing also includes many examples of juxtaposition to help characterize the personality of the characters in his play. This supports Juliet’s actions of being impatient, and how Romeo has a gorgeous face, but an ugly heart. Juxtaposition is defined as the fact of two things being compared closely together, such as beauty and ugliness. Shakespeare uses juxtaposition

Deception can drastically change a person in both good ways and bad, but ‘foil’ characters always stay the same, unless… love is involved. Throughout Much Ado About Nothing, William Shakespeare uses ‘foil’ characters to highlight exemplary and corrupt qualities within them. Claudio and Benedick are perfect examples of this, they both question love at different moments in the play, but ultimately find it. The main conflicts that arise are caused by Don John, he creates misunderstandings, villainy
