why shakespeare when you first start reading shakespeare the words might look like gibberish on the page what do they mean and why are we still reading poetry and plays written 400 years ago the first thing to remember is that the words weren't meant to be read silently they were meant to be spoken on stage the actors would choose how to deliver their lines so every performance was always a little different even back then the audience wasn't trying to understand every word they just wanted to enjoy the show and the actors wanted to bring shakespeare's words to life it's the same way that poets rappers and comedians get creative with their delivery they might use a play on words or a punch line they'll add in a raunchy joke here and there villain i have done thy mother shakespeare was so creative with his words that we still use hundreds of his phrases today tongue tied break the ice swagger a heart of gold he wanted to find new ways to describe the intricacies of life and the messiness of human emotions it's those core feelings that we all relate to anger fear jealousy love in the words of romeo did my heart love till now anyone who's been in love knows it can be this all-consuming thing juliet is the son he says he tackled big picture questions too like what's the point of life macbeth worries it is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing is our life controlled by fate or do we have free will the fault dear brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves shakespeare's influence is all around us so don't get too caught up in trying to understand every word just try reading some lines aloud enjoy the sound of his poetry enjoy his humor you too just might find yourself mulling over some of those big picture questions about true love if there's fate the meaning of life even though we're all on our own journeys we still share similar experiences until our little life is rounded with a sleep gcf global creating opportunities for a better life
