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.

I would imagine it would have to be Shakespear. Even though I love other poets such as Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespears writtings have become more popular and widely distributed. I have no hard facts, but, I would imagine this to be true since so many allusions to his work come in so many movies and songs. Entire movies are made of his writtings. I could, however, be wrong since it is only my own mere speculation.

King Lear is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies.   The whole play is about lack of compromise.  \n\nGoneril poisoned her sister Regan and then killed herself.  These sites should be quite helpful to you.  Best of luck with your work.

No one has any idea. Shakespeare's biography is really quite obscure. We know next-to-nothing about his life. We DO know, however, that he wasn't a member of the Italian nobility and didn't die a suicide when he was a teenager.

Each of the quotes has it's own particular merit. The first one describes Hamlet as having an Oedipus complex, an unnatural love and fixation for his mother, even at the expense of his father.\n\nThe second seems to put Hamlet's feelings as being caused by self pity and low self-esteem. both of which then affect his decisions but only in an adverse, or bad, way.\n\nThe third by Laurence Olivier, who was a great actor, possibly the best there has ever been, and who played Shakespearean roles hundreds of times, is my favourite. You'd think, therefore, that he would know. What he refers to here is the famous 'To be, or not to be' soliloquy where Hamlet is trying to decided whether or not to commit suicide and, as Olivier so succinctly puts it, 'a man who could not make up his mind'.

There is no other writer who has had more movies made of his stories than Shakespeare.  Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Midsummer's Night Dream, etc. They are all movies of his plays.  No other writer has came close to his work.  And also, as others have said, many movies have been based on his work.  For example, the Lion King.  That is very much based on Hamlet (the uncle kills the king to become king, the son tries to get revenge).

It's always seemed that way to me, anti-Semitism was quite common in Shakespeare's day, and nothing in his life or writings suggest that he was any kind of a social reformer.  He wrote what the people paying him wanted to hear because that was his job.  Almost none of what he wrote about Richard III was true, he was, after all, writing for the Grand-daughter of the man who usurped Richard's throne, just as Sir Thomas More, the originator of most of the mis-information, was writing for the man himself, but he told it so brilliantly that the play has eclipsed the facts.  Most performances of "Merchant of Venice" that I've seen show Shylock as an evil man getting his just deserts, it is the mark of Shakespeare's brilliance that it could be just as validly played other ways.  A truly great play doesn't have only one interpretation, I've seen both Lawrence Olivier and Derek Jacobi as Hamlet, the interpretations were total opposites and both worked, that is what the actor contributes.  Never forget, Shakespeare's plays were meant to be watched, not read, you never get the full effect any other way.  I used to live in London, and I've seen several performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company, all of them enriched my appreciation of the plays far beyond what I could get just reading.

I had an amazing english teacher who taught us Shakespeare.  He would make us read all the 'little parts' while he did the 'big parts' with this fantastic accent he made up depending on the role.  He really 'owned' the material and knew stories very well that he made a lasting impression on me and to this day I love Shakepeare.\n\nI think, though, that all the teachers who made lasting impressions on me had one thing in common - they all passionately loved the material they taugt, from history to math to english or art.  It was their love for the material that influenced me to learn more about it.  That kind of excitement for something is catchy.
