Shakespeare in America -There are many ways Shakespeare has influenced America including plays, movies, poems, writing, and more. -Some plays about Shakespeare include “The King” “ 10 things I hate About You” “Lady Macbeth” “The Merchant of Venice” and even “The Lion King”. -Some poems that were either written by him or influenced by him were “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day? ” “Complaint of Rosamund” “Sonnet 130” “Sonnet 18” “Venus and Adonis” and countless more. -I said writing because we have improved from the way he wrote over time and again with the poems and things like that.
