    complicated enough for the scholars and nobles. To this day Shakespeare’s writings hold up in academia as a tool of teaching understanding of words and roots, except the ideas of audiences from today and his time are far from the same. In Shakespeare’s writings it is easy to see how his audience is different than that of today; in Shakespeare’s writing words are used instead of visuals to describe the entirety of a scene, and the word choice used is able to be understood by the least literate…
