Meaning
This reads as an argument that stories endure when they touch shared human experience. Shakespeare, in this view, is not popular because of language alone, but because basic emotions and motives cross borders. In a discussion about translation, literature, or culture, it lands as a reminder that common feeling can outlast the words used to express it.
