Propaganda, Anglo saxon imperialism's need for a Homer, Dante or Cervantes.

Because he wrote about more topics than any other writer, created more characters and more life views and personal philosophies than any other writer and all of that using a language that the gods would speak if they existed, and the angels cease their songs to listen to.

Basically you got the greatest of all poetic minds making his language serve muscle to flesh out several different worlds, and more different people than in any other corpus. Only Checkhov comes to my mind on variety of characters, but he lacks the divine poetic language.

If one only reads Hamlet, Romeu and Juliet and Macbeth, for example, one still has a very limited knowledge of the magnitude of Shakespeare’s achievement. If one read the major works in all the genres: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Henry IV, A Midsummer Night Dream, Twelfth Night and The Tempest, one still doesn’t get even half of the whole picture. If one really manages to read all the works the ocean of metaphors and similes, of characters and views of life is simply astounding.

Shakespeare would have been far smaller if he didn’t forced himself to choose plots and themes that he thought that audiences might enjoy, and had to nest inside the brains of different people to work on the medium of drama. Had he got a perpetual pension to only work in epic poems and courtly poetics and he would be only a white dwarf instead of the sun he became.

> Impossible language no-one can understand
I'm not a native speaker and can understand his plays fine. Some words need looking up, but any decent edition will have glossaries there with the text.
Shakespeare is great, kys faggot.

I remember thinking like you when I was in high school and had to do Shakespeare. You really need to change your attitude and approach literature with a spirit of humility and patience. Just because you don't understand something does not mean it is bad. More often than not it is a reflection on you, not the piece of literature.

Buy an annotated version. Or read a modern translation along with the original so that if you don't understand something you can use the translation for reference. Read up on Greek mythology, Christianity, philosophy, and history to help you understand his references.

Shakespeare is an amazing poet. His works are incredible. If you continue on in this spirit of arrogance you will miss out on the beauty and wisdom the Bard has to offer.

You're going to wait until you achieve success as an author to write something you feel compelled to write?

Which he stole from Europe, mostly Italy
>using a language
Ok, fair, he had a big vocabulary, it seems to be mostly it.
>Basically you got the greatest of all poetic minds making his language serve muscle to flesh out several different worlds, and more different people than in any other corpus. Only Checkhov comes to my mind on variety of characters, but he lacks the divine poetic language.
No factual substance

>You have to read author's entire bibliography to even dare evaluate any of his works
Imagine if that was said about any other writer
Shakespeare and preceding authors were written much later by Anglos after they realised that all that time they were preoccupied with surviving on their island by trying to destabilise Europe and they don't have any kind of culture which a hegemon is supposed to have.
