Thus you can still read Jane Austen's novels long after Jane has died. Shakespeare does not have to be alive for you to perform his plays because they were written down.Shakespeare's plays were not performed in order to make Shakespeare happy. People did not say in 1616, "Thank heavens Shakespeare is dead so we don't have to perform his plays any more." On the contrary, they performed and continue to perform Shakespeare's plays because they are the best plays ever written in the English language. Shakespeare's death did not change that.
