Hello!

Shakespeare was a major playwright in the 16th century, and he still inspires many writers today.
Shakespeare wrote about many situations and depicted them in real-life settings. Today, many stories also cover problems in a regular setting. In addition, Shakespeare used hundreds of words for the first time, some of which are commonly still used today (bedroom, for example).

I hope this helps answer your question! Have a great day!
