Shakespeare in his works has created around 30,000 words, and the language of the past that's used in Shakespeare's stories gives insight to the past in comparison to now; for example, in the Elizabethan era most people couldn't read, but they had the ability to learn and interpret the words that were performed in plays, while now most people have a hard time understanding Shakespeare and they have the ability to read. The language of Shakespeare shows a distinct comparison in people in the past and people today, although the language is difficult to understand it give good insight to the past, and shows many cognates of words that are now used today.
