Conclusion

Somewhere along the road to success, striving for prestige, status and power, people of the modern world have lost their souls. They have lost their orientation in the modern jungle of civilization, they have forgotten their goal of life; they have forgotten to value the forcefulness of love.

Denying the most important part of them, people of modern times fail to get in touch with their inner beings; moreover, they find it hard even to understand whether they are really alive.

Many writers wrote and still write about the moral direction that modern man lost. Many of them showed new possibilities and new ways of life. Many of them proved that life without love is a spiritual death. And most of them invoked Shakespeare, as a cornerstone of our humanness.

Shakespeare in his many works showed that there are always those who accept, approve, and surrender to the inevitable destruction of the system, and those who do not. He wrote about the heroes of life that chose to live differently, about those who refused their contemporary morality, about those that fought for their place in the universe. Shakespeare wrote about those who were not afraid to plunge into the sea of life, as well of those who were afraid of “the heat o' the sun.”

But above all, being an immortal defender of true love, Shakespeare wrote about the religion of love, which always showed the way and served as a guiding star “to every wand'ring bark” that lost its way under the sun.
