What does redblack and white flags mean in a theaters Shakespeare?
The story is well-entrenched that they would fly different coloured flags at the Globe Theatre to tell the patrons what kind of play was being played: red for history, white for comedy, and black for tragedy. The problem is that the division of the plays into these neat categories did not take place at the time they were first performed, and many plays do not easily fall into these categories. There is no contemporary record of this practice. There is record of flags being used at the theatres, but no mention of their colour. I think this story is a myth.

How does Shakespeare's language affect today's society?
Shakespeare in his works has created around 30,000 words, and the language of the past that's used in Shakespeare's stories gives insight to the past in comparison to now; for example, in the Elizabethan era most people couldn't read, but they had the ability to learn and interpret the words that were performed in plays, while now most people have a hard time understanding Shakespeare and they have the ability to read. The language of Shakespeare shows a distinct comparison in people in the past and people today, although the language is difficult to understand it give good insight to the past, and shows many cognates of words that are now used today.
