Wondering of the Day: Is Shakespeare still
relevant?
Here is the break
down of our thoughts:
|
YES
|
NO
|
|
·
Main
themes are relevant
·
Students
who can read Shakespeare build better vocabularies
·
We can
learn about different cultures—almost like History class
·
Ideas
are relatable to today
·
Emotions
are the same as today
·
Being
able to read and decipher Shakespeare builds better readers
·
Plays
are still performed
·
Drama
is still present
·
Format
of his plays are still present
·
Plot
twists are always relevant
·
Films
still continue to be made
·
It
comes up in pop culture all the time
·
He
established many dramatical norms
·
Slang
is used
·
Many
playwrights are still inspired by him
|
·
The
language is defunct
·
People
have different ways of solving conflicts now
·
Length
of plays has changed
·
Not
commonly used outside pop culture
·
Performance
of plays has changed
·
Killing
everyone does not solve problems
·
No one
is interested in Shakespeare anymore
·
Difficult
for people to relate
·
It’s
been done so many times, people already know what happens
·
Society
is different now (roles of women, social classes, etc)
·
It
only gets read at school
·
The
definition of love and the way it is shown is different
