Shakespeare is good because his collected works cover every trope, every template, every plot line that’s the basis of every novel or play or movie since.

Demonstrably untrue. Freaky Friday, The Parent Trap, Yojimbo, Fly Away Home, To Kill a Mockingbird, Bee Movie, Rent, Buckaroo Banzai, Air Bud, Deadpool, A Princess Bride, Heathers, Kung Fu Panda, Ghostbusters …

I mean, c’mon!
