Answer 2

William Shakespeare is known for his works, especially this plays and sonnets. He is also known for his technique. One cool thing that he did was write in iambic pentameter. Iambic pentameter basically means that each line has 10 syllables. These ten syllables would go in a pattern of unstressed, stressed, unstressed, stressed, and so forth.

ANSWER:

To know William Shakespeare or not to know, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler to suffer the language and read his outrageous plays or to take in a movie and by watching end the boredom. Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Cesar! For in these plays what ideas may come that rattle our soul and speak to our mind? The historical plays, the comedies, the tragedies he hath writ them all and more than writ he spoke of truth, sweet noble truth and her remarkable ways. For what is truth if not that which we recognize, which we know? Hath thou read or seen his worthy plays? Aye, there are those who claim his works are much ado about nothing, his style nothing more than a comedy of errors. Even others who claim he hath not writ at all but like two gentleman from Verona he is not who he seems. Not William Shakespeare but someone else it seems. Whether twas Bill or Bacon or even Johnson, the gratuitous and grating glad hander Johnson, it matters not. Tis not who wrote the words that matters, tis what those words have done. Like a midsummers night dream these plays, these poems, these odes to humanity have stayed with us a while, and it is what we learn when being entertained by this mans simple works, his densely woven simplicity, that we benefit. Let's give thanks to these words, by watching his plays and reading the sonnets and for what we get? It is plain to see what we get as in the end its alls well that ends well.

The second answer above is very ingenious. Well done! It might just be worth saying, to make it quite clear to all, that Shakespeare is the greatest writer of all time. His plays show unique language ability and a more profound understanding of human nature than shown by any other writer before or since. By the way, regarding the first answer above, not all Shakespeare's writing is in iambic pentameter (though, quite rightly, a lot of it is).
