The Fault in our Stars by John Green. This explores the idea of two lovers whose relationship is fated to end in tragedy. The play version has a lot in common with Romeo and Juliet, exploring the ideas of star-crossed lovers but instead of warring families, it instead explores the idea of warring races which makes it more relevant to a modern-day audience.
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Visual Representation Whether remembered for his plays or poetry, there is no doubt that Shakespeare was a genius, and that’s part of the reason his legacy lives on to this day. His main characters often lived with hamartia, which is a fatal flaw that was often their undoing.Īs well as being a prolific playwright and producing some of the finest plays of all time he is also known for his sonnets, to the extent where the sonnet form that he commonly used has been named after him. He broke new ground by breaking stereotypes and challenging his audiences by tackling prejudice and racism. He began by focusing on historical dramas, but as he developed as a writer, he began writing comedies and tragedies, including increasingly complex characters. He was well-educated and began his writing career as many of the playwrights of the time did by co-writing. His parents were Anne Hathaway and John Shakespeare. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon.
