We can learn just much now from Shakespeare then if we lived back then because we for one have better ways to understand his writing then they did back in the days that he was around and the kids of today are way more educated then kids back then. I think though that he still influences us today in some no most ways. And we can all learn more than we already know if we pick up some of the amazing books he created when he was still alive those books teach us about life back then and how they lived and makes us realize how lucky we are today to have the stuff we have that they did not have so yes we still learn from him.
