Why Shakespeare is still studied.......

I'm 16 from Australia and think Shakespeare is cool.
I have compiled a 5 points (there are more) stating why
I think Shakespeare is still studied.

1/ Quality and the beauty of his language, the complexity
of his writing.

2/ His Characters are 3 Dimensional
- Psychologically
- Intellectually
- Spirtually

3/ Issues still exist.
Shakespeare in many ways was before his time, in many ways
Some of the issues he presents:
Love Tragedy
Magic Teenager Love
Conflicts Politics
Disguise Jealousy
Racial Themes.

4/ The plays are Universal in all respects.

5/ Staging is flexible.

Tell me what you think, my mail address is martins@om.com.au
I would like to hear from you.
