4. Quote from proquest
According to proquest.com, when talking about 10 Things I hate about you, it states that if “these details don't sound like the artist formerly known as William Shakespeare, remember the bawdy high-jinks and vulgar language he sprinkled through his plays to please the groundlings milling in the pit of the Globe Theatre.”

5. Quote significance
Like screenwriters working in Hollywood today, Shakespeare wrote pop culture aimed at a mass- market audience.
Same themes enjoyed today as in Shakespearian times.
Such themes included love, humor, and deceit.

6. Quoting academia.edu
Academia.edu mentions that “this ‘emotional excitement’ has intrigued writers ever since, although William Shakespeare first began making appearances in novels in earnest in the first half of the nineteenth century, some two hundred years after his death. When we look at these early novels, similar themes and an over-riding tone emerge; namely, a general romanticizing of Shakespeare’s life, particularly his earlier rural life, with references to ‘little Will Shakespeare’ and his ‘ardent and poetic soul’”.

7. Quote significance
Recreations started appearing about 200 years after Shakespeare’s death
Many romanticized his own life, specifically the middle and end of his life
Always portrayed his artistic and poetic qualities

8. Quote from Shakespeare-online.com
Finally, shakespeare-online.com says “Shakespeare influenced every generation of writers since his death and he continues to have an enormous impact on contemporary plays, movies, and poems. The Romantic poet John Keats ( ) was so influenced by Shakespeare that he kept a bust of the Bard beside him while he wrote, hoping that Shakespeare would spark his creativity.”

9. Quote significance
Many writers looked up to Shakespeare practically as an idol
Modeled their works after him
Some even slept with his writing in order to spark creativity
