Language clarity is
an important aspect of writing for authors to consider. We often find works more
appealing that are easy for us to read and relate to. For example, many students find
the writing style of Shakespeare difficult and cumbersome. The language used in
Shakespeare's time has changed. We no longer easily understand his language usage which
makes some of his writing unclear. A more modern work seems to have clearer language
because it is written with a style and language that we understand today. If such a
modern work were transported back in time to Shakespeare's day, they would probably view
it the same way many see Shakespeare's works. A work that is written with clear, concise
language will speak to readers in ways that a more convoluted work will not. This is not
something that we think about, but rather something that happens subconsciously.
