The greatest writer IN ENGLISH! He holds a place comparable to Goethe in German, Cervantes in Spanish, Dante in Italian or Basho in Japanese. He is given this honour because his dramatic treatment of stories was and still is profound. He was instrumental in pushing English drama forward by creating complex characters who were not dominated by one trait, but whose actions flowed from their situation and desires. At the same time he was a master of poetry in iambic pentameter, using a vocabulary far larger than average, including a number of words he invented himself. He also had a genius for phrasing and for figurative language, so his phrases have been adopted into everyday speech. English speakers of all kinds quote him all the time, sometimes without even being aware of it.
