William Shakespeare’s works have transcended linguistic, cultural, and geographic boundaries to become a global literary canon. This article explores Shakespeare’s reception in Indonesian cultures through the lens of comparative literature. By analyzing adaptations, translations, and performances, it highlights the dynamic ways in which Indonesian authors, directors, and audiences have reinterpreted the Bard’s works. The study illustrates how Shakespeare becomes both a colonial relic and a source of creative resistance and local resonance in Indonesia.
