Question

In what ways does Shakespeare seem like a modern man?

In what ways does he seem old-fashioned or archaic?

Answer 1

The plays of Shakespeare seems like a modern man because of the subjects like love, power, greedyness is all relevant in the present era. His plays like Romeo and Juliet, Julius caesar are also relevant to the modern time. He had themes like homosexuality, which was seen as a taboo in the olden times.

The manner of expressing in the play or the way of talking makes it sound like archaic. The way of acting by the actors was seen more in the 1940s rather than the modern times. These elements makes it archaic.
