How Did Shakespeare Influence In Schools

When the name Shakespeare comes up, you think of poems and plays, romance and drama, passion and love. Today, not only are Shakespeare’s plays turned into movies, other movies are formed based off of the storyline of plays created by him. Schools have turned these plays into curriculum to teach, and have taught it to many students at schools throughout the country. Music also has taken an influence off of shakespeare with the theme of the song having to do with romance, just like a poem, with an added rhythm and beat added to the background. Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright, and actor often referred to as the greatest writer in the English language. He wrote many poems and plays which are still being talked about today, after four-hundred years. Not only are his plays known in present time, they are taught to students in schools to study and some may say it plays a major role in education today. For the lexicon Shakespeare writes in, it introduces the students to a different sense of language that was used, and shows the evolution of the language from then to now. Little do people know, Shakespeare invented words used in the English vocabulary today.

As time progressed, his plays were reenacted and some were eventually turned into movies. For example, a couple of the most known of films Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Caesar were turned into movies, and shown to students in school while they are studying Shakespeare and his writings.
