"He (Shakespeare) was not of an age, but for all time," as Ben Jonson correctly noted. The natural world was pleased with his creation. Shakespeare's lasting appeal can be attributed to a number of factors, including his ability to capture the human condition in straightforward yet incredibly moving verse, his timeless tales that cross boundaries of time and culture, his portrayal of unequal characters and the ways in which they can be interpreted, and his literal invention of phrases like "to be or not to be." Aside from this, he has improved not only the English language but also human thought and behavior. Shakespeare frequently makes generalizations and shifts from the specific to the overall in his writings. As a result, the specific tale of a play merges with the larger tale of humanity, and its men and women become a part of the ever-expanding human landscape.
