    William Shakespeare's works remain timeless due to their universal themes of love, hate, jealousy, ambition, and revenge portrayed through authentic and relatable characters. While some aspects are outdated, like gender roles or references unfamiliar to modern audiences, his works continue to inspire new adaptations across different art forms and genres. Shakespeare experimented extensively with language, coining new words and changing the functions of existing words, with some innovations still used in modern English.
