Shakespearean language can be hard to understand because it uses a lot of complex vocabulary, sentence structures, and wordplay that are not commonly used in modern English. Additionally, the language has evolved over time, making it unfamiliar to contemporary audiences. Shakespeare also wrote in poetic verse, further complicating the language for some readers or viewers.
