He was buried in Straford Church,Influence,Shakespeares work has made a lasting impression on later theatre and literature. In particular, he expanded the dramatic potential of characterization, plot, language, and genre(流派).Until Romeo and Juliet, for example, romance had not been viewed as a worthy topic for tragedy. Soliloquies （独白）had been used mainly to convey information about characters or events; but Shakespeare used them to explore characters minds. In Shakespeares day, English grammar, spelling and pronunciation were less standardized than they are now, and his use of language helped shape modern English. Samuel Johnson quoted him more often than any other author in his A Dictionary of the English Language, the first serious work of its type. Expressions such as “with bated breath“ (Merchant of Venice) and “a foregone conclusion“ (Othello) have found their way into everyday English speech.,Well-known Saying,The course of true love never did run smooth. 真爱无坦途。 仲夏夜之梦 Love is blind and lover
