THE ELIZABETHAN LANGUAGE - "WHY
DIDN'T HE USE PLAIN ENGLISH?"
-
The works of William Shakespeare
are often dreaded by students
because of the language he uses!
-
"Why didn't he use plain, simple
English?" is a question often
used by students new to the
Works of Shakespeare!
-
The answer is, of course, that
he did! But the Elizabethan
language was different to ours!
-
There weren't so many words and
people used a whole variety of
ways to spell them as
dictionaries weren't available!
(There are at least 16 different
Elizabethan spellings of
Shakespeare!)
-
If Shakespeare was looking for a
descriptive word, and couldn't
find one he made one up! William
Shakespeare invented words, and
he used them to good effect when
it came to Shakespearean
Insults!
