Thumbs Up or Down on Shakespeare

Shakespeare is famous for variety of good reasons . He is a clever writer who presented his works with depth and purpose . He deserves all the thumbs up he could possibly get . Here are three reasons for those thumbs ups . First , like what I 've pointed out earlier , his works were cleverly written and very deep in some extent . They point moral lessons that shout the pros and cons of assortment of actions letting the readers to be mindful

of the meaning behind each act . In Othello , for example , you would think that it has a racist theme , but if you look closely , you will see that it condones racism . Second , through his works , we had a glimpse to the times that passed long before we were born and also , long before he was born . His Work the Tragedy of Julius Caesar somewhat described the way of life in times of the Roman Empire This particular work painstakingly explained the mechanism of a long-lost time . Third reason for thumbs up is that his passion in writing can be seen in his works . Passion is hard to translate through words , but it clearly manifested in every play he created . What could better explain the depth of how he portrayed his characters

Although Shakespeare can be described as a genius , he still earned a list of drawbacks . My first reason for his thumbs down is the fact that he had never published any of his works and if isn 't for his friends , we might have lost all of his wonderful works . Because of this , many are convinced that other like Francis Bacon , Christopher Marlowe and Edward de Vere , the Earl of Oxford , wrote some of his stories Second , most of his plays contain suicidal scenes , and of course , most of his protagonists died the list includes Romeo and Juliet , Hamlet Macbeth , and so on . I once read in some article that because of Shakespeare 's big influence of the way of thinking in the Romantic era the suicidal incidence increased dramatically . Third , I really like his portrayal of the past but sometimes I find his histories quite dry and difficult to understand they are really tough going especially for average of the students

I 'm could possibly get . Although I had pointed out some negatives about him and his works , they do not really weigh much for me . For example , the fact that he didn 't publish any of his works doesn 't prove that he is an incompetent writer . Aristotle and Confucius have the same record , and they 're still famous . Also I love the way Shakespeare used humor inside the Tragedy of Julius Caesar it proves how witty he was , which is a very plus factor for me . And more importantly , his suicidal themes made his works a lot more controversial but all of these have deeper meaning that made readers look beyond the act
