His gift of language. Shakespeare's plots and themes were hardly new or innovative, but the way he told the stories was ingenius. His ability to make up words (many of which we use today) to suite his iambic pantameter is bloody brilliant. So, I would say language is where Shakespeare's genius rests.

The ability to capture changing moods in verse; the ability to write beautiful, flexible, highly memorable verse; the ability (in his best plays) to capture essential features of human experience related to love, death, loss, etc.
It should be noted that he had little genius for plot.

To send millions of schoolkids to sleep in classrooms all over the world 400 years after his death.
That's genius.

The way he saw the world, as a scene, and all of us merely players:)
