Unlike what  Rebecca Mead will tell you "Relatable" is not  problematic. Sure it doesn't have the same meaning as it did during Shakespeare's  time, but it is just another of many words that have their meaning change. She explains how the word was "connected to some other thing" in Shakespeare's time. In modern times we use the term as to see our self in that certain situation. Sure it no longer has the meaning that she might like for the word but words change everyday, such as "slash". Pieces from Shakespeare and modern authors are both relatable when looked at close enough. To ask for something to be made relatable is also not problematic due to the fact that anybody can find something in common and piece if they try. So I disagree when she says that relatable is problematic and is a scourge. Relatablity is what makes novels or plays interesting and hold the attention of the audience. There also isn't anything wrong with trying to see yourself in a certain situation it could help understand the writing better if you do.
