M: Mary, you are into drama, so I thought we would talk about Shakespeare.
W: Cool!
M: First of all, who is Shakespeare?
W: Well, Shakespeare is one of the most famous pla8wrights in the world.
M: What kinds of plays did he produce?
W: Well, he produced historical plays, tragedies, comedies, poetry, sonnets... He was an extremely productive writer.
M: Wonderful. So can I say he is famous because he produced so many plays?
W: Actually, I think the reason that he’s so famous even today is because the themes he chose for most of his works were universal.
M: Universal? Do you mean they’re themes that touc6 us whether we speak English or Spanish, or Russian, whether we’re in the 21st century or in the 16th century?
W: Yeah, you are quite right.
M: How much has the English changed from the original Shakespeare to the Shakespeare we have today, I mean the English we have today?
W: Well, if Shakespeare suddenly appeared in the 21st century he would be almost illiterate because back in those days, English had a vocabulary of about 150,000 words, whereas now the vocabulary of English is 300,000, I think, probably more" so in a way the vocabulary he’s using is really easy.
M: But wait a minute. You’re saying that his English is easy? When I read it, it doesn’t seem easy, and it seems pretty tough!
W: Well, that’s because his English was used in a different way. Some words and grammatical structures in his works are no longer used in English now.
