Passage Three
For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s
greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that
of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the
work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s
writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of
the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady
who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of
well-known proverbs and quotations.”
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources
of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal
employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is
probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English
language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is
well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some
aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since
Shakespeare’s day.
