Will the beautiful Shakespearean phrases ever become as popular as they once were, or will such language be outdated forever?
The roles of males and females vary dramatically in today’s society and from country to country. Therefore, the way we talk to each other is also different.

I believe that Shakespearean phrases will always be outdated because in our modern-day lives because the way we talk has changed from how people used to talk to it now being more simple compared to Shakespeare's long metaphors and figurative language. In short, I believe Shakespearean talk is in the past and time are different now.

I think maybe maybe not because now people just text and it don't be very long sentences like Shakespeare. Shakespeare had a lot of words to read

the language will be out dated forever. I say this because these days with this generation things are a lot different. Everything is being handled in a different way and people are handling each other differently. The way people talk now as couples and handle each other in a relationship will never be the same

i don't think so because these days people will never understand the true meaning of shakespear and his meaning of love and his quotes that he put out because everyone has their own way of expressing love and showing it

No, Shakespeare's phrases will never be popular again. We don't go into a new year for no reason. Things change almost every year. Our clothes change, our hairstyle change, even the way we talk change, we make up words every year. To many things have changed for us to go back to the original stuff. We use what's new and not old.

I am not sure that everyone will all of the sudden revert to Shakesperean language, but I am sure there are still people in the world who speak that way.
