    As one analyzes both How to Read Literature Like a Professor and the character speech from Shakespeare’s Henry VIII, a connection can be distinguished between Professor Foster’s guide in chapter 20 about seasons and the speech’s course.

    Shakespeare’s Timelessness One of the questions most frequently posed, even these days, is: What makes an author, a creator timeless? As much as skill and dedication play an important role in gaining recognition, these are not the only characteristics necessary to determine whether that certain writer has carved his/her name in the rough stone of immortality, whether he will remembered after centuries.
