What makes Shakespeare worthy of a day to himself? What about him and his work makes him a hero? Does anyone know why Shakespeare deserves one day out of the year to himself like that of Presidents day?

I think you should do your own homework, but to answer your question Shakespeare was ahead of time in thinking and his plays were genuis.

A curious way to address, "why is Shakespeare famous?" but that is what teachers do. Since Lincoln and Washington were folded into President's day and Caesar Chavez is over laid on Labor Day, it is hard to argue for a day for anyone else.
He produced major pieces of literature at a time when England was producing incredibly creative writers and has had a major influence on theater, writing, and vocabulary since then.

Shakespeare was born and also died on an April 23rd, which just happens to be St. George's Day--St. George is the Patron Saint of England. Is that what you mean by "one day out of the year to himself..."? He wrote about heroes (and villains), but it would be a stretch to call him a hero, as we know so little about him. He might just as well have been a scoundrel.

Never before have I heard of Shakespeare being refer to as a hero. A great writer whose body of work has withstood the passage of time, yes. But that hardly makes him a hero.

Shakespeare wasn't a hero and doesn't have a day named after him.

What makes Hamlet a unhappy hero is that he accomplishes his ends, unsetaing Claudius, yet interior the technique Gertrude, his mom, Ophelia, his female buddy, and himself all die, and a minimum of two of those issues may be attributed to his slaying of Polonius in a extra wholesome of rage. Revenge at too severe a value is a Pyrrhic victory. His insanity is a listfulness led to with the help of grief and melancholy, and then anger, which via his errors cost him his life. Had he been extra calculating and rational then he could have killed all of us and it purely does now not have been as exciting.

Because teachers are still making assignments out of his work to see if anyone can decipher what he was trying to say.(maybe they will get a student who can explain Shakespeare to THEM) No, I don't think he deserves a day of his own...Michelangelo or Da Vinci MAYBE, but Shakespeare?
I mean when someone says something like " My love for you only doth this fair blossom bloom..." why can't he just spit it out and say "this bud's for you..." The guy just liked to use to many words, can you imagine the dude trying to I.M?
Just a thought.....

I never heard of him being considered as a hero, but he did make great contributions to literature

He created many words(Which are in the English dictionary. Some examples are weird, dawn, manager), his plays are famous, and he was an ingenious man.
