But there is another secret that works as a spice to this story which reveals the “how” of his connection with the public. It is believed that the topics he discussed about called the attention of the public more than any other detail that has something to do with his work. It seems like Shakespeare knew exactly how to personifie the weaknesses of the ordinary people way better than anyone else. He writes and describes a lot about the emotions of the people and among the human beings, putting a stress on the complex characters. This have always left a great impact on the people, maybe because the man himself is indeed a complex. Moreover, there is at least one character in the Shakespeare’s plays or poems with whom he identifies, therefore makes the whole story even more picturesque and alive.

On the other hand his style of writing and the usage of poetic language together with the dramatic resources is what makes him stand out among the poets of all the times. He sometimes speaks or writes so little but tells too much. But more than a writer, he is a true teacher, someone who created a school out of his works.
