Shakespeare's plays have a very influential role on these popular modern day epics that we do not even realize as we are watching them. It is so fascinating to see some of the same story lines from centuries ago being used in some of our favorite modern films. Many of the elements that Shakespeare used spark inspiration for many movies, TV shows and books that we entertain ourselves with today. Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are two of the most popular film collections of our time, and they teach us valuable lessons that Shakespeare aimed to do centuries ago. This site not only aims to point out these similarities and story lines, but also to act as a reference for sources that give more examples of his work in these modern epics.
