This great figure is the master who takes pride in both Britain and the world, the greatest poet and playwright of the Renaissance—William Shakespeare. The renowned playwright Cao Yu once highly praised him as "a giant who has forever amazed and delighted humanity!" Shakespeare left us many beloved classic works, and his plays have become an unattainable peak in the history of Western theater. For hundreds of years, countries around the world have never stopped staging his plays. Those romantic, poetic languages are often recited aloud and have even become the source of many idioms and allusions in the English language. Shakespeare truly lets people feel the charm of theater.
