Is Shakespeare Our Contemporary? By Mailen & Paula

Based on major global interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts, Shakespeare’s plays and poems constitute a valuable source of input for modern worldwide film industries. Universal, appealing and relevant to human beings, the central themes – sorrow, loyalty, revelry, love, treason, death and fate – underlying the Bard’s works are still consumed by 21st century audiences. Our craving for well developed and tragic plots clearly reveals Shakespeare’s immortality. Beyond doubt, the bard is our faithful contemporary.
