Shakespeare created over 3000 words and/or phrases that we use in our everyday speech. Examples: One fell swoop, fashionable, eyeball, wild goose chase.. and so many more. He's said to be the biggest influence in the English language than any other writer in history.
If you speak English, you use words that Shakespeare coined and phrases he popularized, possibly without even knowing that they come from Shakespeare. Just about everyone says "there's method in his madness" or "all that glitters is not gold".
Because Shakespeare's work is so well-known everywhere, the images of scenes from his plays are familiar to everyone. An image of Romeo standing below Juliet's balcony or Hamlet looking at a skull are recognizable by everyone and used as such.
Shakepeare brought very important and useful things to high school English classes and made people think of deeper meaning. He also made an impact in modern day plays. The Twilight Series and Westside Story are popular spin offs from Romeo and Juliet. There are many others but I am not going to list them here.
Shakespeare coined a lot of words that we use in the English language today, and a lot of phrases and ideas. Shakespeare did not only shape literature in the Elizabethan era, for his work influences the world to this day. He taught that that love can conquer and destroy, that people trust what they cannot see, and that human ethics are easily manipulated. His plays, poems, and sonnets go beyond the lessons of a high school classroom. The stories he wrote still play a dominant role in entertainment today. He inspired people to pursue literature, to develop philosophies and challenge conformist ideals. Shakespeare coined many words we use everyday and brought revolutionary ideas to the way literature is written.
He invented over 3,000 words and phrases that we use in our everyday language, such as:
good riddance
Knock Knock whos there
my own flesh and blood
Off with his head
