The message Behind My Shakespeare
The pen is mightier than the sword, there is a method behind my madness, our hearts were upon our sleeves, do these words seem familiar to you. Well if that's the case you have heard of Shakespeare. In the poem My Shakespeare which was created by Kate Tempest, she conveys to the audience that Shakespeare is still very involved in our lives. As she continues, you notice lines such as "He's in every lover who stood alone beneath a window, In every jealous whispered word, in every ghost that will not rest", you start to see a pattern, stating that in every situation or emotion we have gone through, there was Shakespeare involved. How you might ask, well in every metaphor, every emotion, it was all from Shakespeare. Half way through, she comes to a point where she says that his words may seem ancient, they seem dead but his words are in our every day life. Not only through emotion but also in our language, the words of Shakespeare has settled in our tongue. We may not know that we learn Shakespeare but you do in your English class sometimes. As a matter of fact no, your English class is Shakespeare
