Shakespeare's Legacy Lives On!

vor 6 Jahren

The language used in Shakespeare's plays is very different to modern English and hard even for native speakers to understand, but there are a number of everyday phrases we use today that were coined by Shakespeare.

The green-eyed monster
Wear my heart on my sleeve
The be-all and end-all
Cruel to be kind
Break the ice
Come full circle
A sorry sight
