Answer and Explanation:

A reason why Shakespeare's writing has endured for so long is the universality of his themes. Be it in his tragedies or in his comedies, Shakespeare explored themes such as love, fate, societal expectations, violence, and death, for example. Even if differently, we still experiment situations related to those themes in our lives nowadays. Who has never fancied themselves madly in love like Othello and Desdemona or Romeo and Juliet, for instance? Thus, in a way, Shakespeare's stories and characters are still relatable and relevant.
