In it, Hamlet contemplates suicide, the nature of existence, and the fear of the unknown.

Legendary critic Harold Bloom argued that “Shakespeare was the inventor of psychoanalysis; Freud, its codifier.”\n\nShakespeare is the most influential writer in the English language. As well as shaping the way we speak and write today, the Bard's influence extends to the world of rhetoric and political speechwriting.\n\nShakespeare's plays offer politicians a rich trove of examples for how to construct a compelling argument. For instance, in *Julius Caesar*, Mark Antony's famous 'Friends, Romans, countrymen' speech is often cited as a masterclass in the art of persuasion. Antony builds his case by starting with a statement that everyone can agree with, before subtly manipulating the crowd's emotions and turning them against Brutus and the conspirators.","f9ae5934-d3ce-40d1-b8f8-49dfccf8b46c",[126],{"id":127,"data":128,"type":52,"version":34,"maxContentLevel":19},"a225b3ee-d7bb-44e8-a015-bf43da012be1",{"type":52,"reviewType":19,"spacingBehaviour":34,"collapsingSiblings":129,"multiChoiceQuestion":133,"multiChoiceCorrect":135,"multiChoiceIncorrect":137,"multiChoiceMultiSelect":6,"multiChoiceRevealAnswerOption":6,"matchPairsQuestion":141,"matchPairsPairs":143},[130,131,132],"dd46e24d-0a71-4f2a-8277-6058c3f3d400","6e62b5a8-31ab-4b1e-ab40-35bdf7fbe5a4","16dc407d-1247-4d1b-a2e6-7ce9773d92f5",[134],"Who was the father of psychoanalysis and influenced by Shakespeare?",[136],"Sigmund Freud",[138,139,140],"Harold Bloom","Kenneth Branagh","Leonard Bernstein",[142],"Match the pairs below:",[144],{"left":136,"right":145,"direction":19},"Father of psychoanalysis, influenced by Shakespeare.",{"id":147,"data":148,"type":34,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":24,"reviews":151},"36e2364e-da3c-4c12-bbe6-7ce4aea597e2",{"type":34,"markdownContent":149,"audioMediaId":150},"Shakespeare's use of language has also shaped the way political speeches are written today. The Bard's gift for condensing complex ideas into memorable phrases is something that speechwriters still aim to emulate. His quotes still pepper the speeches of politicians around the world.\n\nBritish politician Jacob Rees-Mogg turned to *Macbeth* when he described a bill he didn’t like as “sound and fury, signifying nothing”. And in his first speech as the British monarch, King Charles III said farewell to the late Queen with a quote from Hamlet: “may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest”.\n\nOne of the more unexpected ways that Shakespeare's influence has been felt around the world is through his impact on the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. Many freedom fighters and political prisoners in South Africa drew inspiration from Shakespeare's works and even found solace in his words during their darkest hours.\n\n![Graph](image://fb5b01e3-2a98-43d4-bfdb-7200caf7a950 \"Nelson Mandela.

One of the most notable examples of Shakespeare's impact on teen fiction is the 1999 film *10 Things I Hate About You*, which is a modernized adaptation of *The Taming of the Shrew*.\n\nThe movie is set in a contemporary high school, and follows a feisty, independent teenager, Kat, as she navigates her way through a complicated web of teenage drama, love, and jealousy.

In *My Own Private Idaho*, the characters of Mike and Scott are street hustlers in Portland, Oregon.\n\nThe two develop a complex, often fraught relationship, much like that of Prince Hal and Falstaff in Shakespeare's *The Henriad*. The film also features moments that directly mirror scenes from the plays, such as the opening sequence in which Mike is visited by his mother’'s ghost, similar to the way Prince Hal is haunted by the memory of his father in *Henry IV*.","eb83357f-6775-473c-8d02-586935bd2705",[274,286],{"id":275,"data":276,"type":52,"version":34,"maxContentLevel":19},"2e48b566-910f-4596-97c2-3277a9ca115c",{"type":52,"reviewType":19,"spacingBehaviour":34,"multiChoiceQuestion":277,"multiChoiceCorrect":279,"multiChoiceIncorrect":282,"multiChoiceMultiSelect":262,"multiChoiceRevealAnswerOption":6},[278],"Which Gus Van Sant film is heavily influenced by Henry IV and Henry V, collectively known as The Henriad?",[280,281],"My Own Private Idaho","The Henriad",[283,284,285],"Good Will Hunting","Elephant","Milk",{"id":131,"data":287,"type":52,"version":34,"maxContentLevel":19},{"type":52,"reviewType":19,"spacingBehaviour":34,"collapsingSiblings":288,"multiChoiceQuestion":289,"multiChoiceCorrect":291,"multiChoiceIncorrect":292,"multiChoiceMultiSelect":6,"multiChoiceRevealAnswerOption":6,"matchPairsQuestion":293,"matchPairsPairs":294},[127,130,132],[290],"Who of the below is a director and actor?",[139],[136,138,140],[142],[295],{"left":139,"right":296,"direction":19},"Director, actor",{"id":298,"data":299,"type":24,"version":24,"maxContentLevel":19,"summaryPage":301,"introPage":309,"pages":315},"61f7c362-d895-4859-9850-d5d94867c244",{"type":24,"title":300},"Shakespearean Adaptations in Music",{"id":302,"data":303,"type":19,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":34},"342c5803-be00-4ba2-8c20-8d11bfa75396",{"type":19,"summary":304},[305,306,307,308],"Giuseppe Verdi composed three operas based on Shakespeare's plays: Macbeth, Otello, and Falstaff","West Side Story adapts Romeo and Juliet into a 1950s New York setting with rival gangs","Something Rotten features a fictionalized Shakespeare and references his plays while poking fun at musicals","Shakespeare's works have inspired operas like Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream",{"id":310,"data":311,"type":38,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":34},"9454f33e-e6b9-4a42-859f-efb29429ab1c",{"type":38,"intro":312},[313,314],"Which Shakespearean play inspired Verdi's opera \"Otello\"?","What modern musical is a retelling of \"Romeo and Juliet\"?",[316,333,361],{"id":317,"data":318,"type":34,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":24,"reviews":321},"3e614f37-de8e-448b-b5ed-2e4164d6811f",{"type":34,"markdownContent":319,"audioMediaId":320},"The work of William Shakespeare has had a profound impact on countless aspects of Western culture, from theatre and film to art and literature.
