Why are Shakespeare’s plays still read today? Is it because of the plots, characters, or language? Is it his ability to communicate what is common to humanity?

Near the end of Act IV Scene I, Demetrius says, "Are you sure that we are awake? It seems to me that yet we sleep, we dream.” Dreams are referred to throughout the play.
