Shakespeare's plays appeal to us because the language he used and the way he wrote was full of techniques and meaning. He used Greek mythology and the Elizabethan ages to set his stories.
The vernacular. Rabelais wrote in French, Shakespeare in English. In Shakespeare's case, writing in Latin would have been professional suicide, seeing as most of the people who paid to see his plays did not know Latin.
Shakespeare does not have a 'universal appeal' inasmuch as there are many people who dislike his writing. That being said; his tendency to explore themes common to almost all humans (love, war, duty, etc.), coupled with his dramatic talents, and canonic status in the West, have made him a central figure in the Western literary and world dramatic tradition
Shakespeare wrote his plays to appeal to a broad spectrum of people, from apprentices and workers, through the middle class to the lesser nobility. The theatres were large enough to hold thousands so they needed broad appeal. The upper class and royalty watched the plays at court. The only people who did not attend the plays were the Puritans who looked at theatre as the work of the devil.
William Shakespeare has been considered by most to be a 'universal poet' primarily because of the widespread popularity and appeal of his plays.

An ethical appeal is an appeal to establish the authority and character of the author. An example of an ethical appeal would be: I studied for 8 years at Harvard to get my Ph.D. in Biology and paid close attention in all my classes, therefore it is clear to me that this biological phenomena is unprecedented.
