    True … Shakespeare’s “invention” of words was probably just the use of contemporary expressions. But he used them so well.

    I love Shakespeare, he really did know how to use the English language beautifully. I know this has been said many times before; I just figured I'd throw my own two, unoriginal cents in on my favorite author.

    Great video. I saw the world record made yesterday at Middle Temple in London. All the words were recited in under nine minutes. It is probably best to avoid the word "invented" though as most of them were probably around before Shakespeare had written them down.

    Invented about 2000 words and phrases
    He may have heard them, and then written them down

    The Tempest. This is the literary
    testament of Shakespeare 403 years later. That I have deducted in one
    night.
    I do not know why the Shakespearean
    experts speak of the island as an imaginary place, or the Bermuda
    Islands, and another hypothesis. The island of The Tempest, Is
    England. The tests are here.
    Shakespeare wanted, and prayed, for
    Spain to invade England, and Catholics to be liberated. Although he
    feels very English. Nobody wants to imagine that Shakespere, the most
    universal English, wanted Spain to invade England, because England
    builds its national identity remembering the year 1588. But this is
    the truth:
    Precisely because Shakespeare secretly
    practiced Catholicism, and his family had been recused and
    impoverished, he wrote the Tempest to vent, because of the Protestant
    intolerance against Catholics. It was the last play, and he risked
    reprisals and left the theater. The tempest that disperses the ships
    (not the English action, because later there were more invincible
    navies, 2nd and 3rd, of 1596 and 1597, dispersed by storms). But the
    tempest could also bring an army to rescue the Catholics of the
    island. Who lives on the island of Shakespare's Tempest? They had
    lived Sycorax before. Look for Sycorax in Wikipedia, for example: "An
    especially odd and early guess at a meaning by one critic was sic or
    rex, a Latin homophone alluding to Queen Elizabeth's pride".
    Elisabeth Sycorax only appears in the named text. She is described as
    a ruthless witch who has already died. Now there is Caliban, which is
    a cannibal transformation. Caliban is the son of Elisabeth (who
    brought Protestantism again after the death of Maria Tudor).
    Protestant cannibals are "eating" Catholics. Shakespeare is
    very cruel to Caliban, who is a deformed being, "like
    Protestantism then?" But who lives abandoned on that desert
    island of the Tempest? (It can be deserted if they kill us all,
    thinks Shakespeare). Live Miranda (María Tudor), "daugther"
    of Prospero, Duke of Milan (Felipe II of Spain was Duke of Milan, and
    before King of England, and the great protector of Catholicism in
    Europe) Who commanded the invincible army of 1588 ?: Alonso Pérez de
    Guzmán (who was captain general of Lombaría , Milan). Who commanded
    the navy in the text of Shakespeare? a man named Alonso, king of
    Naples. Always Italy, where the Pope is, and always Spanish
    territories in Italy. Who is the greatest traitor in Spain in
    history? Antonio Pérez, who betrayed Felipe II, and traveled to
    England to ally with Elisabeth. Shakespeare met Antonio Pérez.
    Shakespare makes a caricature of Antonio Pérez in "Lovers of
    Verona", and called him Mr. Armada. Who is the greatest traitor
    in the Tempest? Antonio, who has stolen Prospero (Felipe II) the
    title of Duke of Milan, has usurped the name of Spain.
    The daughter of Alonso (head of the
    real and fictitious army) is called Claribel. How could Spain invade
    England? Taking troops from the Netherlands, to embark them in the
    army. Who was the Spanish sovereign of the Spanish Netherlands,
    daughter of Philip II, king who sent the army? Isabel Clara Eugenia.
    Isabel Clara Eugenia was proposed to be queen of France. The King of
    France rejected the proposal, but in return he made France Catholic.
    "Paris is worth a Mass". Shakespeare was thinking that this
    was a solution for England, a wedding like that of Philip and Mary,
    an invasion, or the solution that there was in France, to bring
    Catholicism to England. In addition, Claribel comes from Tunisia,
    where the uncle of Isabel Clara Eugenia, had just left the Moors
    expelled from Spain by infidels. Sycorax (Elisabeth) fue expulsada de
    Argel, por hacer brujería, era menos cristiana que los argelinos.
    Who is the servant of Prospero and Felipe II: Ariel, the wind, who
    has a childish spirit, and does not always obey Prospero. But
    Prospero reminds him of Ariel, that he rescued him from Sycorax.
    When? When Philip II of Spain was king of England he brought
    Catholicism. So in The Tempest, Ariel brings the ships to England.
    Shakespare could not go further without discovering his intention.
    The text of the Tempest is full of much more subtle allusions, almost
    on each page, showing the suffering and relief of Shakespare. The
    text talks about the barrels of wine from Jerez (Spain) that the
    fleet brings to fill the whole island, and that are hidden in a cave
    (wine for Catholic Masses, which were hidden in the 17th century? )He
    wanted what he thought was best for England.
    What is the last sentence of the
    Tempest, the farewell phrase of Shakespeare from the theaters? A
    Catholic phrase.

    I know it's meant to be funny, but people didn't drink tea in England yet in the Elizabethan age!
    @ihnlChiv Shakespeare would also change change words to make new ones, like the word "amazement" our of "maze"; as in, you're so confused that you feel like you're in a maze, which came to mean: in wonderment. People would understand the word from the context, and then start using them because it was fashionable to try new ones out!

    Probably he was not smart enough to be able to foretell that people would entertain such distasteful tendencies of monumentalizing the greatness. However, it is precisely due to this natural predisposition that his works were rendered immortal. Immortal yet dead concomitantly. What is a monument but a gravestone to remark upon the elapsed ebbs of greatness?
