Shakespeare is even ahead of us. According to renowned Elizabethan scholar and numerologist Alastair Fowler, the missing couplet from Sonnet 126 provides the key to a crytogram embedded in Hamlet's "eggshell" soliloquy that, if decoded, could potentially lead to the development of a stable fusion reactor. Shakespeare's longstanding preoccupation with electrodynamics should also not go overlooked. The great Henry Poincaré, in his proto-structuralist analysis of plot in the Roman plays, demonstrated that Coriolanus prefigures Lorentz's theory of the electron; furthermore, a little-known experiment by Rutherford, in which the play was read aloud through a gold sheet, demonstrated that Coriolanus' death-drive operates at exactly sqrt(1 - F^2/C^2), where C is the speed of light, and F is the speed of Freud.

Lol

So basically you want us to do your essay for you? Have you no ideas of your own? It's a pretty open question so you should have something to write about.
