Shakespeare is thus continually reminding us of our own experiences and expressing them for us. Moreover, as we grow older and the range（范围） of our experience widens, so his range grows, too. He is always giving us back our own, so that we can understand his plays more and ourselves better. The reward of the study of literature is that we are constantly deepening our own experience and understanding, and of all English literature the study of Shakespeare is the most valuable. It gives us the power of separating ourselves from ourselves and seeing our own lives as part of universal life, as players playing out our own seven acts on the universal stage, and at the same time enjoying the experience of the play as players on the stage and as critics（批评家） in the audience.
