Shakespeare wrote his tragedies, comedies, and histories at a time when he was competing against rowdy activities such as a c**k fight right down the street. His audience was rough and tough and somewhat dirty-minded, if you will. His writings are full of remarks that would have had hilarious sexual connotations to the people of that day. In a way, we might compare him to a modern day sitcom writer. The difference lies in his ability to create larger-than-life characters that have never stopped captivating those who enjoy Elizabethan drama at its best.

Harold Bloom, perhaps the foremost literary critic in all of America just now, says it this way: “Shakespeare invented human nature.” That is about as high praise as could be offered. Of course, he does not mean that humans were not acting according to their own nature before Shakespeare came along with his quill and ink well. He simply recognized that there is a natural way that we all respond to the real dramas in our lives. He showed that nature by coming up with ways he could help us understand. If he had not shown us, some other writer may have. But he did SHOW us. For that, his contribution cannot be overemphasized.
