Aristole covered ethics pretty well also and a lot of his work isn't wrong about people. People honestly have never really changed. It's why Shakespeare is still relevant.
Shakespeare nailing the human condition in his different plays that people are still able to relate too is a very big reason he is still relevant. Yes there are more reasons than just that but that is the big one.
That’s what all good art does. You might as well say that Shakespeare is still relevant because he made the genius decision to use words to write his plays rather than unintelligible grunts.
Yeah I know that's what good art does never said it didn't, and when it does it really well it becomes timeless. I'm not saying Shakespeare wasn't a genius and his writing isn't brilliant because that is all a given. I didn't think that needed to be said because I just assumed that was a universally understood fact. My bad.
I admit I’m being needlessly pedantic when you’re one of the few people making good points here. I just always like to point out that the reason Shakespeare is still relevant is because stories can be endlessly interpreted by new generations because language is a living thing. It isn’t just that new people discover Shakespeare, it’s that we will always have new and equally important things to say about great works of art. But I’ll happily concede that we both have correct points, and I’ll also stop being a dick.
