There were events in William Shakespeare's life that some people don't know. Initially, he was supposed to be the third child in his family but since both of his older siblings died of infancy, he got considered as the oldest of them. In addition, one of his twins, Hamnet, died at the age of eleven years old. Furthermore, the first time his name got recognized as a professional was when Robert Greene mentioned him (in his deathbed testament) as an actor and a playwright. Finally, Shakespeare was pretty interesting, not just a writer but also as a person.

ReplyDeleteThere's many interesting facts about William Shakespeare that people don't know. Besides, being a great poet and playwright, Shakespeare has a pretty fascinating life. Since, women were not allowed to act back then, there are many theories that Juliet could have been played by a male. Also, in the play,Juliet is a 13 years of age, In addition, some original documents of Shakespeare's signature survived and he spelled his name quite different from the way we believe his name is spelled. For example, Shakespe, Shakspe, Shakspere and Shakespear were some of the ways he spelled it.

DeleteWilliam Shakespeare lived a very interesting life . Shakespeare lived to age 52 . It is known that he was born in April 1564 and that he died on 23rd April 1616. We know that he was baptised on 26th April 1564 and scholars now believe that he was born on April 23rd. He therefore died on his fifty-second birthday . Shakespeare was buried in the Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon. He put a curse on anyone daring to move his body from that final resting place . During his life, Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets . This means an average 1.5 plays a year since he first started writing in 1589. His last play The Two Noble Kinsmen is reckoned to have been written in 1613 when he was 49 years old. While he was writing the plays at such a pace he was also conducting a family life, a social life and a full business life, running an acting company and a theater . Shakespeare lived a very unique, memorable life .

Shakespeare's was a very interesting and creative man, but there is so much that people do not know. When he wrote Romeo and Juliet, those two met when Juliet was 13 years old. Another thing is that no one knows when Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, the date is unknown. The last thing is that the original title of Romeo and Juliet was suppose to be " The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. As you can see there is things that were unknown about Shakespeare and what he did with such a creative mind.

ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet, alongside Hamlet, is probably Shakespeare’s most performed play and has also been adapted in many forms.Many of Shakespeare’s plays are based on others’ earlier plays, histories, and poems. This was common practice at that time.The first definite reference to Shakespeare as a playwright is in a pamphlet by Robert Greene, who wrote, “There is an upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his Tiger’s heart wrapped in a Player’s hide, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you: and being an absolute Johannes fac totum, is in his own conceit the only Shake-scene in a country.”
