Shakespeare's plays WERE the Rennaisance, they had a huge impact on the people and other literature of the time.  Shakespeare is still today hailed as one of the only writers to accurately and delicately illustrate all of the human emotions with such feeling and beauty.  The Rennaisance was the awakening of Europe to education, art, and literature.

The Renaissance was a social, cultural and economic revolution which began a period of scientific revolution, religious reform, artistic and architectural development, and philosophical openness, and marks the beginning of modern European history. It occurred at the end of the Middle Ages and the start of the Modern Age. The Renaissance is usually considered to have originated in the late 13th century in Lombardy in northern Italy and extends o the mid 15th century in northern Europe. What was reborn was, in essence the ideal of Classical Ancient Greece and more importantly, Rome.\n\n\n\n \n\n\nHistoriography\nThe term Rebirth (Rinascita), to indicate the flourishing of artistic and scientific activities starting in Italy in the mid 1300's, was first used by the Italian artist Giorgio Vasari in the Vite, published in 1550. The term Renaissance is the French translation, used by French historian Jules Michelet, and expanded upon by Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt (both in the 1860s). Rebirth is used in two ways. First, it means rediscovery of ancient classical texts and learning and their applications in the arts and sciences. Second, it means that the results of these intellectual activities created a revitalization of European culture in general. Thus it is possible to speak of the Renaissance in two different but meaningful ways: A rebirth of classical learning and knowledge through the rediscovery of ancient texts, and also a rebirth of European culture in general.\n\n \nLeonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, an example of the blend of art and science during the Renaissance.[edit]\nMultiple Renaissances\nDuring the last quarter of the 20th century many scholars took the view that the Renaissance was perhaps only one of many such movements. This is in large part due to the work of historians like Charles H. Haskins (1870–1937), who made a convincing case for a "Renaissance of the 12th century", as well as by historians arguing for a "Carolingian Renaissance." Both of these concepts are now widely accepted by the scholarly community at large; as a result, the present trend among historians is to discuss each so-called renaissance in more particular terms, e.g., the Italian Renaissance, the English Renaissance, etc. This terminology is particularly useful because it eliminates the need for fitting "The Renaissance" into a chronology that previously held that it was preceded by the Middle Ages and followed by the Reformation, which many believe to be inaccurate. The entire period is now often replaced by the term "Early Modern". (See periodisation, Lumpers and splitters)\n\nOther periods of cultural rebirth have also been termed a "renaissance"; such as the Harlem Renaissance or the San Francisco Renaissance. The other renaissances are not considered further in this article, which will concentrate on the Renaissance as the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age.\n\n[edit]\nCritical views\nNote: This section needs more citations and references. \nSince the term was first created in the 19th century, historians have various interpretations on the Renaissance.\n\nThe traditional view is that the Renaissance of the 15th century in Italy, spreading through the rest of Europe, represented a reconnection of the west with classical antiquity, the absorption of knowledge—particularly mathematics—from Arabic, the return of experimentalism, the focus on the importance of living well in the present (e.g. humanism), an explosion of the dissemination of knowledge brought on by printing and the creation of new techniques in art, poetry and architecture which led to a radical change in the style and substance of the arts and letters. This period, in this view, represents Europe emerging from a long period as a backwater, and the rise of commerce and exploration. The Italian Renaissance is often labelled as the beginning of the "modern" epoch.\n\nToday most histor

Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, Titus Andronicus, All's well that ends well, Julius Caesar\n\nOut out damn spot....All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand (Lady Macbeth after the murder), \nsorry can't think of any more off the top of my head, mind's gone blank. \n\nhe married Anne Hathaway, lived in Stratford upon Avon and there is controversy over whether someone else (poss Ben Jonson) wrote some of his plays.\nHe also lived in a time where spelling was very flexible and so he would quite possibly have spelled his name the way you have; however it is today usually spelled as Shakespeare.

My favorite has always been Shakespeare. There's lots of help on the web for it, and it's just classic. To understand Shakespeare will give you lots of laughs especially with these new teen movies out that rip him off :) Plus it's just cool to read the stories that have inspired people for hundreds of years.

Shakespeare plays often used another location for issues to be resolved. It is a technique that he chose in order to separate from the place of conflict where the characters work their way through it to a resolution.  \n\nCheck out Cliff or Sparks Notes.  You should be able to do a search and get them online.  Sparks notees used to be free online, but I haven't used them in a long time.  Check it out.\n\nSue

Shakespeare is a literary giant, just like Hawthorne, Melville, Hugo, Twain, Steinbeck ...\n\nIt probably has a lot to do with standardizing Literature education among high schools.  No doubt, every literature teacher has his / her favorite writers .  Decisions about testing have to be made somewhere, and Shakespeare is likely as good a pick as any.\n\nStudents who go on to College / University education will likely see Shakespeare again, so it's good exposure.

I think what Shakespeare was trying to do, was to give the viewer/reader a sense of the characters in the play. Macduff plays an important part later on the play, so it's important that we see the character closely. The play is not ALL based on Macbeth, in fact it's about Macbeth's rise and fall, which occurs by the influence of other characters in the play such as his wife, Lady Macbeth, the 3 witches including Hecate..even King Duncan influences him into believing he can be king himself (complicated story). Look i can write a whole essay as to why Macduff is important in the play...have you read the whole play? do you know the end? maybe if you read the end then you'd know why introducing Macduff's character is important..so sorry for the long answer =/

If this is for homework you really should do the work yourself.  Everyone thinks Shakespeare is confusing because of the complicated language, but there really are some fun stuff in his plays, and some of it isn't that different then todays movies.  Shakespere used a lot of sex, violence, and paranormal.  The trick is don't read it.  It was never meant to be read directly. It wasn't even written down originally, just memorized by actors. Go rent Romeo and Julitte, and see it performed. If they are good actors they will convey it in a way that's easier to understand. Another good resource is: http://absoluteshakespeare.com\n\nAny, Act II starts out with the famous "balcony scene" where Juliet wishes Romeo wasn't Montague.  He overhears it and says he loves her so much he'll swear off the name. They complain for a while about dealing with the problem of being from feuding families, then fter some shameless flirting Romeo proposes.  Juliet says she'll think about it and send her nurse to answer tomorrow.  Romeo goes and tells Friar Laurence what he's done and the Friar accuses Romeo of just trying to get into Juliet's pants, expecially since yesterday he was telling the Friar he was in love with Rosalind.  Be he agrees to wed them because he thinks it will solve the feud between the families.  In the mean time Rome's friends give him a hard time, Juliet's Nurse agrees to help, and ends with them secretly getting married.\n\nFor an even funnier version rent The Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr (abbridged) by the Reduced Shakespere company.  Also rend the recent Romeo and Juliet movie by Baz Luhrmann (the guy that did Moulin Rouge)

if you are talking about the Italian Renaissance, then it was because of the humanist ideas, which differed greatly from those of the middle ages (or dark ages because of little cultural progress).  the humanists had new ways of thought, such reformation included new behaviorial guidelines, such as the Prince by Machiavelli.

The English language has changed in many ways since Shakespeare's day, but he has been the standard of excellence for so long that there is less difference between his writing and contemporary writers than there is between someone else who wrote during his time and today's writers.  His themes have been used, and his details examined, for all that time.\n\nThe best way to understand Shakespeare is to get DVDs of movies like "The Taming of the Shrew" with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, or "Romeo and Juliet" with Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting, that use the actual words of his plays.  They will give you a visual image and the emphasis on his words that you need in order to understand.  Unfortunately, we seldom see modern actors and actresses in America who know how to do Shakespeare well; the English have kept up with him better.  Try DVDs from BBC.  (All these initials!)  \n\nThe language is not that different, really; but the poetic nature of Shakespeare's plays adds to the difficulty.  Still, the effort to understand is worth it, because then you will see the point behind many more recent stories that have adapted the Shakespearean themes.\n\nEnjoy!
