Do you think that Shakespeare's plays still have value today, despite being hundreds of years old? Do you think that Shakespeare's messages about the themes listed could ever become dated?

Shakespeare's play still have value and are unlikely to ever become dated.

Explanation:

It has been four centuries since Shakespeare's death, but the topics that he explores in his plays remain popular even today. Themes of revenge, betrayal, love, or death, which are present in majority of his plays, can never become dated. Although much has changed over the course of time, people nowadays face the same issues as in Shakespeare's day. People plot against each other like Iago plots against Othello, fall in love like Petruchio and Katherine, blindly follow their ambition like Macbeth... This is why Shakespeare's work is still being recognized and explored by the scholars, and still read in schools all over the world.

Also, why is Shakespeare so important to the English language?

It is believed that Shakespeare has invented at least 1700 words in the English language that are still used today. In this way, he significantly influenced the English grammar.

Explanation:

Shakespeare left a large legacy behind, not only related to literature, but to the English language as well. Shakespeare is believed to have invented around 1700 words that are commonly used today. He changed nouns into verbs, verbs into adjectives, thus forming new, original words. Moreover, many phrases and idioms that Shakespeare invented in his work are still used - for instance, "all that glitters isn't gold", "break the ice", or "clothes make the man." Shakespeare made a large contribution to the English language grammar, which became evident in the 17th and 18th century.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
