Recommended: Literary essay about shakespeare

My greatest challenge in completing this assignment was understanding what Shakespeare words meant and understanding how to explain and using them for evidence. I struggled to develop my ideas by using evidence once again because of of his words are hard to understand so when trying to find evidence to go with my topics struggled because I don’t understand Shakespeare writing.
I overcame this challenge by reading and looking up what some of his words meant. Reading my essay I would definitely say I would have taken my time on it instead of kind of rushing into it a few days before it was due.
I also would have used proper MlA citation for Othello and used proper MLA citation for outside sources. these things would have improved my essay.

  • Shakespeare Analysis

    794 Words  | 2 Pages

    To start off, Shakespeare's elaborate use of figurative language is a huge reason why his writing is still taught centuries after his death. He used an extensive amount of this language to deliver a sense of emotion and depth in what his characters are saying. In some cases, Shakespeare will use figurative language to foreshadow future events in the play. For example, Friar Lawrence is talking to Romeo about the secret marriage he was being asked to do when he states, "These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder." In this case, Friar is basically reminding the audience that the forbidden lovers will die no matter how much they attempt to fix it. Shakespeare also uses figurative language to indicate a somewhat clear time period when actions take place. When Benvolio is talking to the Montagues about the last time he saw Romeo, he says, " An hour before the worshipped sun/ peered forth the golden window of the east." Shakespeare could have easily used simplistic language to explain the time of day the actions were taking place, but instead he personified the sun in a very pure and beautiful way.

  • William Shakespeare's Relevance Today

    2247 Words  | 5 Pages

    William Shakespeare's Relevance Today For as long as formal education has existed in Britain it has been a largely standard assumption that teaching the works of William Shakespeare is relevant and necessary. Perhaps the relevance of his writing is taken for granted, perhaps it is necessary to re-examine the role of Shakespeare for the modern audience. There are indeed many people who question the relevance of this 440 year old playwright to a 21st century audience, taking it even as far as perhaps the greatest heresy of all, questioning the necessity of GCSE pupils learning Shakespeare at all.
