Magic! Ben Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare, said that he [Shakespeare] wrote "not for his time, but for all ages." Even in Shakespeare's own age it was recognised that his writing would last. Not bad for a country boy!

A lit bit of plagiarism from Italian fairy tales and an insight into human nature. It doesn't matter how much society changes over time and all the commodities that come with it, we are still universally governed by the same themes throughout our lives: love, jealousy and pride. If you write stories based around those themes, your work will never date.

Shakespeare was originally an actor. He knew how to write plays with a clear vision of how the scene would be acted, and how the audience would react.

He red a lot :). No, seriously, he managed to combine the different motives form different mythologies and different tales. Therefore, he gave the compilations of archetypes form all over the world...he painted every day life as well as deep, dark urges of human. These were just shades, we should all read him again and again...and again...
