Well, it would help if you got the quotation correct. It's from The Tempest, Act III Scene 3. In this scene, Prospero's brother Sebastian, Alonzo the King of Naples, the counsellor Gonzalo and others are wandering about when Prospero starts creating magical illusions. The stage direction says "Enter several strange shapes, bringing in a banquet; they dance about it with gentle actions of salutation and, inviting the King &c to eat, they depart."
This must seem pretty strange to Sebastian et al, but there it is. Sebastian says that now he's seen this, he will believe anything, "Now I will believe that there are unicorns."
Do you believe that there are unicorns? Sebastian didn't used to, but now he does. The words (if correctly quoted) are exactly the sort of thing any 21st century English speaker might say, and need no explanation.
Basically, he meant that Shakespeare had something which would be relevant at any time, not just in the time he wrote it. Shakespeare was not "topical" most of the time. Jonson, on the other hand, filled his plays with references to people and ideas which were well-known when he was alive but nobody knows about now, which makes Jonson's plays quite dated and hard to follow compared with Shakespeare's.
"Thus," like almost all of the words Shakespeare used, means the same today as it did when he used it; any good dictionary will give you the definition of this word. It means "in this way or in this manner." So, when Hamlet says, "And do not saw the air too much with your hands, thus," he is demonstrating the kind of hand-sawing he is talking about.
He/she does not (believe) you. Present tense singular. For example - as of now "he/she does not believe you". We/they do not (believe) you. Present tense plural. For example - as of this moment "we/they do not believe you". He/she/we/they did not (believe) you. Past tense singular and plural. For example - when you said that "he/she/we/they did not believe you".
It means from now until the end of Monday.
yes you can i believe so.... you can say Now the day has ended or something like that or Now____ is going to ____. But i believ you can start a sentence with now depending on how you want to use it.
Unicorns are fictitious, they were never around.Unicorns are now and have always been a myth.

Not unicorns per se, though some have speculated that the legends of unicorns may have been inspired by now extinct species of deer or rhinoceros relatives.
None - unicorns are a mythical beast and only exists in the imagination of writers of story books.
Yes but first you need to get two unicorns Unicorns are now and have always been a myth.
It is not certain of the fact since unicorns have not ever been found, but they are written about in ancient mythologies. It is a possibility that unicorns once existed and are now extinct or in hiding. For most people, a unicorn is a myth, but not everyone is positive of that opinion
The now-archaic term was used by Shakespeare, among others, to mean forsaken by one's mistress, or girlfriend (from lass, and forlorn).
Shakespeare wrote in English, the same language I am using now. There is no such language as "Shakespearean language" or "Shakespeare language". It's English. A word like "then" is a building block of the English language and always means "then" when Shakespeare or any other English speaker uses it.
Shakespeare
William Shakespeare died in 1616.
If you mean the guy who wrote the plays, no, he died in 1616, almost 400 years ago.
