It would seem rather silly to try and compare the two, but for the sake of it I would sum it by saying you graduate Shakespeare to get to Dante. In other words Shakespeare is secondary school while Dante is university.

The big difference between the two writers is the personality of each and the type of message that they show. Shakespeare is a mountain top covered with clouds, said Arnold, Dante's life is more known, Dante strove to create a theological literature, Shakespeare chose to leave the positions and fall in ambiguity, but here comes a detail, this ambiguity Shakespeare is like the endless ocean, we will never know everything about her, while Dante's work is like an immense island, but Shakespeare is a ocean, Shakespeare has more width than Dante, Shakespeare wrote 37 plays, 154 sonnets and others poems while Dante just a great work with a volume of 5 plays of Bard. Finally, for modernity Shakespeare is more relevant, there are more books about Shakespeare than about Dante, Shakespeare's most widely read, taught, what is wrong to say that Shakespeare is less educated, each of his pieces invite us to different interpretations more than does Dante.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
