I found it interesting that Shakespeare created over 3000 words in English. I wonder how people reacted to those words and how did they understand them while the play was being performed. I also found it interesting that Shakespeare would have to change his writing style to relate to a diverse audience. His plays would appeal to all different walks of life, not just the rich.-Shiv
