William Shakespeare wrote many plays and poems that are known all over the world. But perhaps using the words of an Elizabethan playwright is not important today. Well, think again, Shakespeare's works have survived the years and then some. For example, Romeo and Juliet has not only been performed again and again in theaters around the world, but it has also been made into a very popular movie twice. Thank you.
