The language of dramatic literature plays a crucial role in shaping the artistic structure and emotional depth of a literary work. In drama, dialogue becomes the primary means through which characters express their thoughts, emotions, and conflicts. Therefore, the expressive richness and stylistic diversity of language are essential for creating vivid dramatic effects. One of the most outstanding examples of such expressive dramatic language can be found in the works of the great English playwright William Shakespeare. Shakespeare is widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in world literature. His works not only shaped the development of English drama but also significantly influenced the English language itself
