ABSTRACT

Shakespeare's influence extends from plays and literature to modern film
in both Western philosophy and the English language itself. William
Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the history of
Shakespeare. The English language and a world-renowned playwright
Shakespeare's writings have also affected many famous novelists and
poets over the years. And it continues to influence new authors even
today. Shakespeare is the most cited writer in the history of the English-
speaking world after many biblical authors. Many of his referenced words
have made their way into the everyday use of English and other
languages.



Shakespeare's writings had a great influence on the entire English
language before and during Shakespeare's time. The grammar and rules
of the English language are not standardized. But when Shakespeare
plays became popular in the seventeenth century and the late eighteenth
century, they helped to standardize the English language with many
Shakespearean words and phrases becoming embedded language.in
English, especially through various forms like Samuel's English Dictionary
Johnson, with more references to Shakespeare than any other writer.



Many people may think that Shakespeare's language is difficult because
it is a poetic language and an ancient language. Although Shakespeare is
an old language, it is evident that Shakespeare is still used today. Not
only in a poetic or literary way, but also in widespread speech. And that
many people may be familiar with, such as the phrases that we have
presented today.

CHAPTER I

GLOBAL ENGLISH

English is the most widely used international language. But how many people
really know the history of the English language? And why has this language been
so important from the past to the present? Has it evolved? What is its historical
significance in each era? If we talk about the history of English, there are many
eras, namely Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, and Modern
English.

According to the history of English in each period, there are important events that
occur. It has an interesting effect on the evolution of the language; I will only
mention Modern English because there were many events and social phenomena
in the early days of Modern English. And one of those events has a person who
has influenced the English language in the use of new words and phrases. That
person is William Shakespeare.

One of the influencers in shaping the English language into a new dimension in
English is "Shakespearean English" and affects the use of English to the present
day. So let's start getting to know Shakespeare better. Who is Shakespeare? Why
is this language influential and important? And what words and phrases did he
create? It can be studied with the following subject matter.

CHAPTER II
WHO IS SHAKESPEARE ?

William Shakespeare was a
renowned English poet, playwright,
and actor born in 1564 in
Stratford-upon-Avon. His birthday
is most commonly celebrated on
23 April (see When was
Shakespeare born), which is also
believed to be the date he died in
1616.

SHAKESPEARE'S
FAMILY LIFE

Records survive relating to William Shak
espeare’s family that offer an

understanding of the context of Shakesp
eare's early life and the lives of his

family members. John Shakespeare married Mary Arden, and together they had
eight children. John and Mary lost two daughters as infants, so William became
their eldest child. John Shakespeare worked as a glove-maker, but he also
became an important figure in the town of Stratford by fulfilling civic positions.
His elevated status meant that he was even more likely to have sent his children,
including William, to the local grammar school.

William Shakespeare would have lived with his family in their house on Henley
Street until he turned eighteen. When he was eighteen, Shakespeare married
Anne Hathaway, who was twenty-six. It was a rushed marriage because Anne
was already pregnant at the time of the ceremony. Together they had three
children. Their first daughter, Susanna, was born six months after the wedding
and was later followed by twins Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet died when he was
just 11 years old.

Shakespeare
in London

Shakespeare's career jump-started in
London, but when did he go there? We
know Shakespeare's twins were baptised in
1585, and that by 1592 his reputation was
established in London, but the intervening
years are considered a mystery. Scholars
generally refer to these years as ‘The Lost
Years’.

During his time in London, Shakespeare’s
first printed works were published. They
were two long poems, 'Venus and Adonis'
(1593) and 'The Rape of Lucrece' (1594).
He also became a founding member of The
Lord Chamberlain’s Men, a company of
actors. Shakespeare was the company's
regular dramatist, producing on average
two plays a year, for almost twenty years.
He remained with the company for the rest
of his career, during which time it evolved
into The King’s Men under the patronage of
King James I (from 1603).

During his time in the company
Shakespeare wrote many of his
most famous tragedies, such as
King Lear and Macbeth, as well
as great romances, like The
Winter’s Tale and The
Tempest.

SHAKESPEARE'S
WORKS

Altogether Shakespeare's works include 38
plays, 2 narrative poems, 154 sonnets, and a
variety of other poems. No original
manuscripts of Shakespeare's plays are
known to exist today. It is actually thanks to a
group of actors from Shakespeare's company
that we have about half of the plays at all.
They collected them fo
r publication after
Shakespeare died, preserving the plays.
These writings were brought together in what
is known as the First Folio ('Folio' refers to
the size of the paper used). It contained 36 of
his plays, but none of his poetry.

Shakespeare’s legacy is as rich and
diverse as his work; his plays have
spawned countless adaptations across
multiple genres and cultures. His plays
have had an enduring presence on
stage and film. His writings have been
compiled in various iterations of The
Complete Works of William
Shakespeare, which
include all of his
plays, sonnets, and other poems.
William Shakespeare continues to be
one of the most important literary
figures of the English language.

NEW PLACE: A HOME IN
STRATFORD-UPON-AVON

Shakespeare’s success in the London
theatres made him considerably wealthy,
and by 1597 he was able to purchase
New Place, the largest house in the
borough of Stratford-upon
-Avon. Although
his professional career was spent in
London, he maintained close links with
his native town.

On his father's death in 1601, William Shakespeare inherited the old family

home in Henley Street part of which was then leased to tenants. Further

property investments in Stratford followed, including the purchase of 107 acres

of land in 1602.


Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-Avo
n on 23 April 1616 at the age of 52.

He is buried in the sanctuary of the parish church, Holy Trinity.

CHAPTER III

HOW SHAKESPEARE IS
IMPORTANT ?

Shakespeare’s legacy on the English language cannot be
understated. Before his rise to fame, English was not as
standardized as it is today; for example, Shakespeare
changed the spelling of his name all the time, and finding
the same word spelled differently within the same book
from that time perio
d is very common. Shakespeare not
only introduced new
original words into the language, but
his work also influenced how poetry was written as well
as helped standardize the English language through the
widespread renown of his work due to the growing
popularity of printing technology.

To this day, many of
Shakespeare’s words and phrases
are still being used regularly. In
fact, it is said that he introduced
more than 1,700 new words into
the English language, and his
contribution goes beyond the
introduction of words. His style of
writing influenced creative writing
across the world, be it poetry,
plays, or novels. Even in modern
day, you still see Shakespearean
English being used, especially in
medieval settings and fantasy.

This is why we think it is important
that English students be made aware
of Shakespeare‘s legacy, so that
when you inevitably encounter it,
whether in a book or a movie, or any
other medium, you can at least
recognize the style and translate it
accordingly.

CHAPTER IV
SHAKESPEAREAN
LANGUAGE

1.Bird of the night

It is a combination of two words that already
have the meaning of each word to form a new
word.

2.Love is blind

it means that people in love tend not to notice the flaws of their
loved ones. to the point of sometimes even overlooking the guilt.
This phrase has an older origin than Shakespeare himself, but
Shakespeare who made it popular. The origin of this phrase comes
from the appearance of Cupid, the god of love. The typical Cupid is
shaped like a child holding a bow and blindfold. When someone
was shot by his arrow, they fell in love with what was in front of
them. And because Cupid is blindfolded, hence the origin of the
phrase "Love is blind", Shakespeare also used the phrase in The
Merchant of Venice.

3.Wild goose chase

It means that someone invests their time and energy into
doing the impossible, useless, or non-existent. As a result, it's
as if we're chasing after a wild goose. The origin of the word
is assumed to be the name of a type of horse racing in the
16th century. And the phrase was first used in Shakespeare's
Romeo and Juliet. At first, it didn't mean doing the impossible,
as it is today, but Shakespeare's use of the phrase in his work
made it known to the masses. Therefore, it is more widely
used. The well-known meaning of the word originated from
lexicist Dr. Samuel Johnson in 1755.

4.Green-eyed monster

It means jealousy or "green-eyed monster." This can
convey many meanings, such as lush or anger. In pre-
Shakespeare, green meant sickness. But Shakespeare
was the first to use green to represent anger, such as
Green with envy, which means anger until the face
turns green, from Othello.

5. Lie low

It means to hide or to escape. This expression that is often
heard in movies is the word "lie" it means "lie down" and
"low" means "low". For example, if a thief has just committed
a crime and managed to escape, he should hide from the
police. Or if it's a celebrity who's going through a scandal,
someone might say, "Hey just lie low for now, don't just walk
around and show your face!" Let's go first. It's lie low, which is
from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

6.It's all Greek to me

It means you don't understand a thing. This phrase
was mentioned in the work titled Julius Ceasar.
The character Julius Ceasar used this phrase to
say that he did not understand anything. It was as
if he was listening to ancient Greek that he
couldn't understand because Greek was a very old
language.

7. Cold-Blooded

It means someone who is cold-blooded.
People who are cruel, unmerciful, and
uncaring to others are described as cruel,
unmerciful, and uncaring. In this case, it might
remind us of a killer, psychopathic movie
where people are killed without mercy.

8. Break the ice

It is an act of social communication with the aim of
reducing the tension when talking for the first time.
The phrase originally meant a ship leading a convoy to
break ice blocks in the ocean to create a channel for
other ships to follow, but Shakespeare adopted it in a
social context, which became the meaning we know
today when Shakespeare used the phrase in a work
called The Taming of the Shrew.

9. Fashionable

It indicates that something is trendy. In the past,
this word was only fashion. But when adding the
word "-able", So this word means modern. This
word is one of those words that have a suffix added
to make the word have a different function.
Shakespeare is the person who put able at the end
of this word.

10. Give every man thy ear,
but only a few thy voice

Listen more and speak less. This phrase is considered a very old
phrase in the English language. You can notice that the word thy
in the sentence means “your” in English that we use today.
Therefore, this sentence, if we want to understand it, is "Give
every man your ear, but few your voice." To bring words and
opinions to think to get good results, and to speak less here
means speaking only moderately. Be less critical of others, then
look at yourself and be more open to listening to others.

11. Good riddance

It means being free from a problem for a long time. or feel
relieved. It is a phrase that expresses relief when the person or
object in question is eliminated. This phrase is a combination of
the words "Good and Riddance." Riddance is a noun for the
verb "rid," meaning to leave, but riddance is usually paired with
something like happiness, fayre (fair) or gladfulness, but after
Shakespeare paired the word "good" in Troilus and Cressida,
the phrase has been used as good riddance ever since.

12.You can have too
much of a good thing

Implying that it might turn out to be bad as well. such as sleep. If we sleep too
much, it can cause fatigue. Eating If you eat too much. It can make you vomit,
get fat, and, like love, if you love too much. It may have a negative effect on
us. even money. If there's too much, it might make us nervous, so everything's
just right. as we can take better care of it. This idiom is from the poem As You
Like It.

13. ROSE-CHEEKED

literally means "red-cheeked." When talking about roses,
red comes to mind first. When a rose is paired with the
word cheek, which means cheek, this word therefore
means that the cheeks are as red as a rose. In addition,
the word has also appeared in Taylor Swift's song. The
title of the song is "Wildest Dream." In the chorus, the
words are "Red Lips and Rosy Cheek," which means the
same as "ROSE-CHEEKED NOW."

14.BEDROOM

means "bed." A word that everyone knows 100%,
Shakespeare combined the words "bed" and "room" to
create a new meaning. Which bed translates into a
mattress with space? That means space. So when
these two words come together, they mean "bedroom."
It was like a new word was coined in that era.

15.To be, or not to be?

It means to live or die. A question asked by a character in
Shakespeare's "Hamlet", the phrase is one of
Shakespeare's most famous phrases. The scene in which
the phrase is used is the scene where Prince Hamlet asks
himself if he should fight for it. Life goes on and we endure
suffering and the obstacles of being alive. Or choose to kill
yourself to stop the suffering. At present, we may have
seen similar scenes in movies or novels as well.
