If Shakespeare lived in the United States today, would he be able to achieve the same stature

He would not be able to achieve the stature due to the vast changes in generations over the years. Technology has developed on a major basis since the time of Shakespeare and thus he will find it hard to obtain a stable stature in the current period.

Explanation:

Books have been transformed into e-books and e-tutorials which basically eliminates the use of paper and stationery. People these days don't give importance to feelings and those associated with it, hence there is no sense of love within. His literature is regarded as one of the best works in the field of English and people always look up his works but there are hardly few who are interested in poems and literature these days. Although known as "English national poet" with 39 plays and 154 sonnets his contributions to the language are being forgotten.

with the above factors, it can be concluded that Shakespeare will not be able to achieve the same stature as he did centuries back.
