Word Choice-Jeain

While reading the play, I noticed Shakespeare's choice of words for each character in the book. It seemed to me that the language was made entirely for English professors. Every character had a strong hold of the English language, and would speak almost effortlessly. I believe the word choice used is solely because of the time period in which it was written. The robust vocabulary creates an environment full of upper class characters who's biggest problem is who they like. I think this makes for an interesting story, and it was done on purpose so that the upper class of the time would be attending Shakespeare's plays.
