One answer was the fact that he wrote about ideas and concerns that remain close at heart with people of all cultures and backgrounds. His plays were not confined to local politics ... and women. While his plays may have been affected by the political and religious arenas around him, one can clearly see that Shakespeare chose subjects that would touch the heart, while not bruising a persons pride. The Taming of the Shrew had four main subjects: 1) marriage, 2) money, 3) class distinctions, and 4) love.

He was a follower of Dionysus, he LOVED wine. He believed in playing the flute like Pan. He did not believe in ruling. Egypt rejected him for that. ...
- 1484: The The The author of Mark's gospel is believed to be, by some modern- day scholars, John Mark who lived in Jerusalem and who might have learned about Jesus from the Apostle Peter.

- ... in its own juvenile love of criminals, violence, and vulgarity. Taking a note from Sam Peckinpah, Tarantino populated his film with morally ambiguous outlaws. Yes, these are criminals and killers, but damn, if they aren't charming and charismatic. Any chance we have of disliking these people is squashed in the film's opening sequence, which shows them in a small diner, sipping coffee after breakfast, and talking about the true meaning of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and the ethics of tipping. They're tough, but they're also people with ideas, convictions, and humor. Of course, the conversation is crude and juvenile, but it's also hilarious ...
