William Shakespeare - Playwright | Mini Bio | BIO

William Shakespeare (baptized on April 26, 1564 to April 23, 1616) was an English playwright, actor and poet also known as the “Bard of Avon” and often called England’s national poet. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, he was an important member of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men company of theatrical players from roughly 1594 onward. Written records give little indication of the way in which Shakespeare’s professional life molded his artistry. All that can be deduced is that, in his 20 years as a playwright, Shakespeare wrote plays that capture the complete range of human emotion and conflict. #Biography

As part of the requirements for my English major, I was supposed to take a 17th century English class. I chose Shakespeare and I almost failed it. Luckily, the professor let me pass by just riding their research paper. Now that I am no longer under pressure, I use my free time to read. The Shakespeare plays that we had studied in class last year. I’m having such a good time with them. I can’t believe I’m saying it now. I understand that much better. I appreciate the plays more now, given that I am no longer obligated to study them. It helps to look back and then after a few months, if you don’t have to read them for school.

William Shakespeare is the person who wrote over 30 plays. His most famous play is Romeo and Juliet, which is a story about the Montagues and the Capulets going in a feud against each other. Romeo feels in love with Juliet, despite Romeo being a Montague and Juliet being a Capulet.

An interesting theory (that's quite likely) was that Shakespeare assisted in the effort of translating the Latin Bible into English, so either way he's the most quoted writer of all time.

Ohh This Guy he is also popularly known as KALIDASA OF ENGLAND. Though he's no where near The GREAT KALIDASA Kālidāsa (fl. 4th-5th century CE) was a Classical Sanskrit author who is often considered ancient India's greatest poet and playwright. His plays and poetry are primarily based on the Vedas, the Rāmāyaṇa, the Mahābhārata and the Purāṇas.[1] His surviving works consist of three plays, two epic poems and two shorter poems.
