C. all over the world
Today, Shakespeare is one of the most known people and I assume many people know where this came from: "Oh Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo" in Romeo and Juliet, or even "To be or not to be," in Hamlet. Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet were both written by William Shakespeare and if you ask most people, they will know Shakespeare, whether it be in Europe, Asia, America, Canada, etc...
