Shakespeare was a fantabulous humanist showing important perceptions which focus on moral, political, social and philosophical questions of universal significance, endeavoring his best to transform the world to make it a better place to live. William Shakespeare is a versatile and seasoned author in terms of psychology, emotions and ideology and above all ethical values. Honesty, Truth, Forgiveness, Love, Sincerity, Mercy, and Discipline can easily be learned from the literary works of the Shakespeare. He exposed masculine and feminine features in a unique way, Shakespeare displayed true realism in his drama and took it to pinnacle with profundity. His dramas have the strong touch of humanity with the assistance of several sound memorable characters. Even in the present world his several characters of different plays can be remembered for their specific aspirations, their strengths and shortcomings. Today in the newfangled and modern world people prefer to love only an object and an object of love is for physical pleasure. A modern man is fully ignorant from the real feelings of Human love, human relationship and humanity. Human love is degrading with each passing day today due to over modernization, globalization and the current virtual world has crossed the all boundaries. Modern man is advance and making machines and becoming himself not more than a robot or a machine. In the present world Human Being are found without love, sentiments and moral values. The same values which are mandatory to lead a happy and peaceful life.
