Our topic in this week
was Shakespeare who is the most successful author not only in English
Literature but also in the world literature and we talked about his
unforgettable work of art Romeo and Juliet. This is a famous work that I’ve
always curious about but I had never a chance to read it. I’m regretful for this
but now I have a chance to read it thanks to English Literature course.
Although I could not read
Romeo and Juliet, I know that it is one of the most important gigantic works in
the history of literature. It is about a love story between children of two
feuding families. Once I’ve read some sonnets of it, I thought that Shakespeare
was very professional at writing. I thought his wife actually did the right
thing to him by being a bad wife because if he never interested in literature,
we would be deprieved of his using language accurately and such beautiful stories. He created such powerful stories that many are
still memorized, read, studied and performed, maybe even after centuries.
As well as Shakespeare
wrote beatutiful stories, he used his own grammatical rules and words. This was
an important event for the history of English. Many of them are used today. For
example, he created words such as ‘’amazement’’, ‘’dislocate’’,
‘’premeditated’’, ‘’windle’’ etc. and used masculine singular pronoun ‘’his’’
for ‘’its'’. If Shakespeare was never born, English would never have beauties of own language.
In conclusion, works of
William Shakespeare should be studied in any foreign language department
because like Ben Jonson said, Shakespeare is not of an age, but for all time.
