      The language he used in his plays was written the way they were was so all the different English languages/dialects could understand it. So he was key in developing the English language.

        I’m not sure everyone would agree on that.

        But even then, who gives a shit about how he looks? People have this weird fascination for him as if he’s a newer Jesus or something, pretending that he is the One that everyone should know and respect and quote and love. That’s much closer to an obsession than something about being a good writer.
