Abstract

“Yesterday’s future was today and Tomorrow’s past is today” – seems to be logic but carries the biggest lie that time is unreal. This Paper concentrates on the unreality of time, especially on the B Time Theory. To prove this theory Some of Shakespeare’s plays are analysed in this paper and gives the solution how Shakespeare has followed the B Time Theory. The paper highlights that there is no such concept as time and therefore time is unreal and it is an illusion
