Abstract

            Harold Bloom helpfully suggests that our continued interest in Shakespeare has something to do with Shakespeare’s particular insight into what it means to be a human being: “Shakespeare not only invented the English language, but also created human nature as we know it today.” As the world has just passed by his 450^th birthday landmark, questions on his popularity, his acceptability in ultramodern society, his halo in a ‘dying’ age of arts and the like seem to be quite obvious. We now stand on the brink where topics on the demolition or preservation of the Bard’s created worlds have become a bit close to equal. This paper tries to show some ‘locale’ (and some locals) that look impossible for any variety of stage-craft—Shakespeare being the farthest of them all. But the green can grow anywhere, we never know! And this again proves that famous thought of our Bard when he saw a stage everywhere.
