As the most eminent dramatist in the history of English literature,William Shakespeare's works retain their enduring vitality over four centuries,a phenomenon intrinsically linked to the extraordinary magic of his language.This paper systematically explores the literary charm embedded within Shakespearean dramatic dialogue,focusing on four dimensions:rhetorical devices,lexical innovation,imagery construction,and characterization.Drawing on specific lines from masterpieces such as Hamlet and Macbeth,it analyses how language serves as the core vehicle for conveying thought,emotion,and dramatic action.Building upon this foundation,the study extends its perspective to applied linguistics and education,demonstrating the unique value of Shakespearean lines in enhancing learners'linguistic perception,critical thinking,and cross-cultural humanistic literacy.By dissecting pedagogical models such as"performance-based learning"and"classical imitation writing"–approaches that"teach language through drama"–this paper proposes feasible pathways and strategies for integrating Shakespearean lines into modern language teaching through stratification and categorization.This aims to achieve effective integration between classical literature and contemporary education,thereby advancing the transmission of humanistic spirit and the synergistic development of linguistic competence.
