Abstract: Shakespeare only used the word 'hedgehog' once in his plays. This app means you don't have to read them all to find out where. Or just search for any word that interests you and have some fun exploring! This app shows details of how often and in which plays Shakespeare used words you search for.
Full Description: # Words in Shakespeare
This Shiny app allows the user to explore the words in Shakespeare's plays. By typing in a word of their choice, the user will be shown:
- The number of times the word appears in Shakespeare's plays
- Which play uses the word the most times
- What type of play uses the word most relative to other words
- A random quotation using the word
The deployed app can be found here.
