Shakespeare is a good playwright because people continue to enjoy watching his plays over 400 years after they were written. The reasons that his plays continue to be enjoyable are that they have plots centring around universal problems and themes: retirement, teen love, courage in battle, growing up and making choices, the eternal triangle of love and so on. Shakespeare did not write these plots but he chose them with care and focussed on their universal themes. Shakespeare was also the first dramatist to create characters who were internally consistent, who did what they did because they were in some way motivated to do it. But most important of all, Shakespeare has his characters speak in the most amazing words, in a language full of unforgettable imagery, wordplay and vocabulary.
