    I like it because I agree with it. Life can be compared with a play. We are the actors, then we play different roles (sisters, mothers, teachers, etc.) depending on the moment. What about the audience? Well, I do not know. The author and the director of the play? I do not know either. It could be that players do not need them,  Maybe we are rehearsing all the time...

Even today, these words and phrases are used by ordinary people, jourmalists, and politicians.]]> 2016-11-17 20:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mpilarb2/tfhm1x7sjpzo/wish/138554941 Samuel Johson's opinion mpilarb2 https://padlet.com/mpilarb2/tfhm1x7sjpzo/wish/138556126  Samuel Johnson quoted Shakespeare’s work thousands of times in his English dictionary, published in 1755. He noted Shakespeare coined or introduced thousands of words and phrases into the English language.

It lies in the way Shakespeare’s words seem peculiarly apt to our circumstances. The same passage can speak to us in different, even contradictory, ways at different moments in our lives. How this sorcery works, I have no idea, and a lifetime of watching the plays has brought me no closer to an answer. (Hannan , par.13).
    We quote him, too, whenever we say ‘eyeball’ or ‘torture’ or ‘moonbeam’ or ‘fashionable’ or ‘scuffle’ or ‘swagger’ or any of the countless new-fangled words he invented (including, come to think of it, ‘countless’ and ‘new-fangled’).  (Hannan , par.21).

One of the things he is famous for is the effect he had on the development of the Early Modern Englishlanguage. For example, without even realising it, our everyday speech is full of wordsand phrases invented by Shakespeare. He was able to do that because English was changing as people modernised it in their normal workaday speech.]]> 2016-11-17 20:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mpilarb2/tfhm1x7sjpzo/wish/138558276 Opinions regarding Shakespeare's impact on the English language mpilarb2 https://padlet.com/mpilarb2/tfhm1x7sjpzo/wish/138560080 2016-11-17 20:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mpilarb2/tfhm1x7sjpzo/wish/138560080 mpilarb2 https://padlet.com/mpilarb2/tfhm1x7sjpzo/wish/138563182

But because he was so creative, I'm sure he would find the situation amusing and he would write a play about this "crazy invasion".]]> 2016-11-17 21:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mpilarb2/tfhm1x7sjpzo/wish/138569415
