I feel that this is the most fun and exciting type of writing. Creative writing allows you to use your imagination freely and run away with it. Creative writing is the type of writing I myself enjoy the most. My example of creative writing is the famous play Romeo and Juliet. This play was written by the famous William Shakespeare in the later months of 1594.

Arthur Miller was a very successful writer and playwright, Death of a Salesman is Miller’s most significant work, a play that quickly became an American classic. The play has frequently been produced and each production interprets it differently (Kirszner 1292). This leads to the question of whether or not a play’s magnitude can be reached through film as well. Usually, when a book or film is adapted into a movie, certain elements change or are omitted all together. Director Volker Schlöndorff’s version of Death of a Salesman remains true to the play with very little deviation; the movie’s characters, tone, and setting closely correlate with the play.
Why Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” is Targeted Towards an Elizabethan Audience Shakespeare is without a doubt, still one of the most famous playwrights to have ever lived, and likely will be remembered forever. One of his most famous plays is “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”. Believed to have been performed for the first time in the spring 1601, it remains one of the most well-known plays to date, bearing lines such as the famous “To be, or not to be, - that is the question” (Shakespeare 3.1. 56), and “Alas, poor Yorick!” (5.1.189).

Marico Andrews 11/20/11 Research Paper Dr. Phillips Shakespeare’s use of Karma in The Tempest “Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them,” the great William Shakespeare once said. Known as the Bard, William Shakespeare was and still is today one of the greatest English writers ever. He was a poet and a playwright whose works are enjoyed all across the world. The quote above by Shakespeare in a way describes his work The Tempest; this work is said to be his last work he wrote alone. Greatness tends to come with power and this tale is all about power.
William Shakespeare is considered the greatest playwright of all time. His gift for developing characters is one major aspect that accounts for this high acknowledgement. Shakespeare created various characters ranging from drunks and fools to kings and generals. The complexity of his characters is a perfect reflection of human nature thus allowing the audience to relate to them and to understand what they themselves are capable of. As a result of Shakespeare's true-to-life characters, the relationship between Katherine and Bianca in The Taming of the Shrew is completely realistic, reflective of every aspect of the ever-present experience of sibling rivalry.
