SUMMARY

The text is part of a blogpost about the influence of Shakespeare worldwide.

First and foremost, it explains that Shakespeare is considered to be the most

translated and performed of any playwright around the world. However, there are
different views about that. For instance, some think that its success is due to the year
he was born.

Moving on to another significant opinion, Harold Bloom expressed in his book “the
invention of human” which demonstrate that Shakespeare is an icon of English
literature because not only did he create characters with a strong personality, but he
also allowed us to know the truth about life.That is why, his words are still used in the
English language.

The last paragraph deals with the book “Brush up your Shakespeare” by Macron. The
reasons for its popularity was that the author was greatly influenced by Shakespeare
which was projected in his book. Nevertheless, he had adapted many phrases, which
are still present, in order to have relevance in today´s language.
