quotes

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
                                                                                                         - lustful, big-mouthed Lucio (Measure for Measure)

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
                                                                                                       - introvert, depression-loving Jaques (As You Like It)

To be, or not to be, that is the question.
                                                                                                      - bitter, revengeful Prince Hamlet (Hamlet)

Animated biography
Easier text
Advanced text
The period of history when William Shakespeare lived is now called the Renaissance. During this time, Elizabeth I was the Queen of England (b.1533, reign 1558-1603) . She was only 25 years old when she became queen. Shakespeare is considered England's greatest playwright and poet, and is often referred to as "the Bard". He is also one of the most influential, and his works are the second most quoted after the Bible.

CHILDHOOD

Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, in the town Stratford-upon-Avon, north west of London. His parents were John and Mary Shakespeare. Very little is known about his childhood, but we know that he was the third child, and the first son. They were six siblings in all. When he was five, he started at a local nursery school, and at about fourteen he left the local grammar school, where he had learned about poetry, history, Greek and Latin. It is then believed that he worked in his father's glove-making shop for a while.

FAMILY

There are very few clearly established facts about the life of Shakespeare. We know that he married a local girl, Anne Hathaway, when she was 26-years old and Shakespeare 18. The following year their first child was born, Susanna. Two years later they had twins, Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet sadly died when he was just 11-years old. One theory argues that one of Shakespeare's most famous plays, Hamlet, was inspired by the death of his son. Yet, there is no way to say for sure if this is true.

Four years after the birth of the twins, Shakespeare left Stratford for London, probably leaving his family behind . However, different sources claim that he often visited them. When Shakespeare retired in 1611, he moved back and stayed there until his death.

LONDON AND THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S MEN

William moved to London to pursue an acting career. He wanted to make a name for himself, but in the beginning he just got minor parts, so he started writing plays himself. However, the first work he got published was a poem, "Venus and Adonis". A year later, in 1594, he published his first play anonymously, Titus Andronicus, a tragedy. He then became a shareholder in an acting company called The Lord Chamerlain's Men. As he continued acting, he wrote plays for his company. The Londoners loved his plays, and the company became extremely popular. They performed for the Queen at the royal court, but they also performed for the middle class. 

THE GLOBE THEATRE

In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain's Men built the Globe Theatre on Bankside, in London, and they started putting on performances in the open air. The Globe is often referred to as "Shakespeare's Theatre" and it opened at a time when actors in England had become professional. Each actor had to play many parts in one play. There were no women actors, thus, instead boys played the female roles. There was a huge interest for plays and acting , and many other theatres were built south of the Thames. The Globe had seats for about 3000 people, while 1000 could stand in the "Yard", in front of the stage. The audience was a mix of social classes, so Shakespeare tried to make his plays enjoyable for everyone. Once, they fired real cannons during a performance and the straw roof caught fire. The theatre burnt to the ground within an hour. As a consequence, a second Globe was built on the same site.

LEGACY
​

Shakespeare wrote both comedies, tragedies and history plays, but also poems, including poems called sonnets. He wrote 38 plays, or more, and is best known for plays such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Macbeth. No one knows exactly when Shakespeare wrote each of his plays, and there have been times when his authorship has been questioned. However, there is no evidence to support the claims. He is also credited with inventing almost 3000 new words and expressions that are still used today.​

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.
      So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
      So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
                                                                                         (Sonnet 18)

From sonnet to song
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks,
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
      And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
      As any she belied with false compare. 
                                                                 (Sonnet 130)
