Abstract

Shakespeare's works are timeless . Even after 400 years of his death, his works appeal to the learned and the unlearned . The bard of Avon has got an enduring appeal. After reading his tragedy Hamlet we can conclude that Shakespeare is still relevant. Hamlet is a psychological study of human nature. In the contemporary times, people are facing many psychological problems, loneliness, indecision; torments of family problems, procrastination, etc., same type of issues were faced by Hamlet. We can relate to his plays so conveniently. His popularity continues unabated and seems to continue in the future too.

Keywords: Hamlet, Shakespeare, psychological, soliloquies, universal appeal

Timeless Shakespearean Stories

“Age cannot wither her nor custom stale her infinite variety” – this is how Shakespeare describes Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra. The same rule applies to him. Shakespearean stories are timeless; his writing is brilliant for the most part. He was a literary genius whose work is universal in its appeal. He wrote across many genres from comedies to tragedies. Even after 400 years of his death, his works appeal to the learned and the unlearned, to the urban sophisticated people as well as the poor class. He grasps with equal penetration the intimate lives of the kings and the fools and the beggars. His popularity continues unabated and seems to continue in the future too.
