    Shakespeare still has a place in modern society? To be relevant or not to be relevant‚ that is the question. It has been over 400 years since Shakespeare wrote his last work and the world continues to reference‚ adapt‚ teach‚ discuss and question the great bard of Stratford upon Avon. Maybe he was incredibly ahead of his time‚ or maybe the world just hasn’t changed for 400 years‚ either way‚ the themes and issues used throughout Shakespeare’s works are still relevant and interesting to today’s audience

    Othello ‘Othello may have been relevant to the Elizabethans but it has little to say to a contemporary audience’. I believe Othello is still relevant to a contemporary audience‚ however modern individuals often view it on a different level to the people in Elizabethan times.

    I would say that traditional gender roles for men and women are not relevant today. Gender roles have been around for years and they have always been labeled a certain way‚ but I’d say now that those labels have been broken. They are not as relevant in today’s world as they were years way back. There is too much diversity and roles that men and women have both done.
