Conclusion



That's a wrap!  Now that you have completed this project you have experience with how versatile Shakespeare can be.  You should understand why we read Shakespeare in school 400 years after his death.  The themes in his plays are universal and timeless - they are just as relevant today as they were in Elizabethan England, no matter what the setting, no matter what the time period, no matter what the dress and customs.  Try to remember what you have learned during this project as you read other works by Shakespeare in the future.
