❤️ From Aligarh Muslim University, India. This is such a beautiful, smooth and calm documentation. I am very happy that the home town still resembles the natural scenery and the simple way of life.
I’m here because I’m actually realising the mindset this man must have offered to everybody in the world and it influenced how we see things and our language as humans. I want to understand and accept myself better so I’m learning more about humankind first! I dropped out of high school and never managed to get back in guys, I never got the privilege. Please, listen to these teachings and decide for yourself on if this is how we should view the world.
He was born is Stratford-Upon-Avon He was born during Elizabethan Era During the time Shakespeare was alive literature entertainment, the arts and theatre blossomed. He was christened on April 26th and was speculated to be born 3 days before that on April 23rd Shakespeare died April 23, 1616. His death could be considered ironic because just like his birth date his exact death date is also a mystery. King Edward VI School and his school day was about 11 hours long from 6 or 7 in the morning up to 5 or 6 in the evening He married Anne Hathaway he was 19 when he got married and they marry on November 27, 1582. He had 3 children there names are Susanna, Hamnet and Judith. He went to london in the 1592 He had written 9 plays by 1594 He returned to live there by 1613 he did this because his son died and he was sick and going to die soon. He bought the second largest house in stratford when he moved back to stratford. Seating capacity is 873 with an additional 700 people able to stand in the yard The Theatre is believed to have been caused when a theatre cannon misfired and ignited the theatre's wooden areas and burnt the place Queen Elizabeth supported Shakespeare's writing and works Shakespeare's plays are divided into three different categories: comedies, histories, and tragedies The famous speech used by the narrator was Hamlet by William shakespeare.
i have to watch this for my homework but now my ears are ringing from the loud music in between every couple lines and my fingers are numb from adjusting the sound controls. i am not sure if this could get any worse.

I actually Googled the autobiography of William Shakespeare because I have been watching upstart Crow on britbox and now I am fascinated with Shakespeare
I'm rather enjoying this!! I like the voice over! Can just imagine my old English teacher whipping out this on VHS and making us watch on a Friday afternoon at the end of term :D #BritishLife
Greyson Another ignorant sod & proud of it. American? Well, I am too. You aren’t OBLIGED to be stupid, altho’ your chances are slim that you’ll be anything else.
Shakespeare plays were in fact a head of his time, the somber undertones, mixed with comedy makes them great.. I have almost all of his plays. It takes a mature mind to truly appreciate them.
@@SnowbunyinIL My favorite is Transformers 2, but Hamlet was also acceptable. But the best play must be the new Sonic one. Shakespeare really was ahead of his time.
I want to be an actor so bad. I graduated from film school and want to go to school for acting so I can learn both sides of the camera. Learning Shakespeare will help me build character.
My English teacher is making us watch this video and I think you guys should've allowed captions and or have added video transcription. who else agrees?
Only 5 mins in, and off to find another Shakespeare documentary. As if the narrator isn't bad enough, I'm constantly turning the volume right down with that darned music blaring in between every few sentences. Enough!
The Sonnets 'DARK BEAUTY" has usually been presumed to be female even though he/she's gender is never revealed, only his/her appearance ,and that the writer of the Sonnets seemed to like this person A LOT. Its all speculation. Was it only social convention that all of his speeches about love spoken by his Juliets, Olivias, Violas, Portias, Rosalinds, etc. were possibly written to and possibly for the men and boys who played them? Just sayin.....
There's no evidence he found Anne Hathaway unattractive. He had a desire to act and write, people who have gifts have a need to fulfil them, even if it meant leaving the family home. He came home to 'New Place' any way so he didn't abandon them completely.
Lmao I love how I came here to just actually learn about Shakespeare, but all of the comments are people saying how they needed to watch this for school 💀
"O Hamlet, speak no more,; these words, like daggers, enter in mine ears, No more, sweet Hamlet!" 👑 Queen. What has happened to our beloved English AND grammar? " No more, sweet Hamlet!" 😥
its because schools are forcing them to from the looks of things. i remember doing that back in high school - finding the video they used and complaining on it. the people who are annoying to me are the ones who are buthurt because the voiceover isnt reading the quotes in a specific accent.
dont know about some of these comments here, but the way i understood Shakespear is that he took the English languish and took and ran with it, now English is probably the most spoken languish in the world.
The greatest "Shakespearian" work is the creation of Shakspere as THE poet/dramatist without a single established fact as to his being either. Incredible!
R.I.P. William. . . . . . Just my little joke at the expense of all of those TH-camrs who insist on sticking RIP, you will be missed etc , on every post about someone no longer with us.
If this is the pride of Anglican literature, you should read the Irish book of kells, that is where literature in modern languages begins . An amazing experience that exults with wisdom .
Some of Shakespeare's plays have been re-interpreted by two wonderful Australian writers. John Marsden wrote a novel called "Hamlet" in which he depicted Hamlet and Ophelia as two teenagers, desperately in love but at sea within a world of troubles, namely the court of Denmark with all its tensions and intrigues. Jackie French re-wrote the story in her book, "Ophelia, Queen of Denmark." She showed the way that women were influencing the outcomes behind the scenes and also re-interpreted the death of the King in an interesting way. She also wrote, "I am Juliet" focusing on Juliet's experience of the being in love with Romeo. Her book about Macbeth is fascinating. She is critical of Shakespeare for not sticking to the historical facts in his play about Macbeth but Shakespeare had to take account of the fact that he could be hung, drawn and quartered if the dictator, Queen Elizabeth 1, was in any way threatened. Elizabeth had learnt ruthlessness from her father who had executed her mother. That is probably why Shakespeare depicted Richard III as being a murderous tyrant. Shakespeare had to explain away why the crown had not been passed down through inheritance, an awkward fact because it really meant that Elizabeth 1 was not the legitimate queen, a fact he carefully glossed over. (It also means that Elizabeth II is not a legitimate queen.) It is surprising in this day and age that royal families still choose the next royal by means of inheritance. Most other jobs require qualifications and a carefully written job application and a job interview, rather than just saying, "Mum, has the job so I expect to get the crown." As it is, an entire family is subjected to endless scrutiny and lifetimes on display because one member of that family is forced to be a monarch.
Stratford is the big business of the SHAKE-SPEAR INDUSTRY. But Is there a museum where one can see the Original hand writing of MAN OF STAFFORD WHO SOLD GRAINS who the author of Shake-spear?
Baby William also died. The real playwriter was Italian born. Michaelangello de Crollalanza (literally: crolla + lanza = shake + spear) was the real Shakespeare. The Stratford parents were actually his aunt and uncle. He took the name of his deceased cousin. So the true birthdate of him is unknown.
Why all the complications and secrecy? Life was hard enough to contend with with all the concelings and people aren't who they were. It sounds like a plot from one of Shakespeare's plays! Why not accept all we know about Shakespeare and enjoy his plays. Have a nice cup of tea and relax.
@@charlottebruce979 He knew little about Egypt as pine trees don't grow there. Most of his plays have an Italian background because he lived in Italy for 22 years before escaping to UK from the persecution. He hid with his mother in a castle called Castello Otello before getting safe passage. I accept what I know about it.
Before you watch, inform yourselves about the authorship question. There is two persons one with the name and one who wrote the plays don’t mix them up. The man with the name is like Mickey Mouse, he got his Disneyland called Stratford on Avon and there they show you five houses that has nothing to do with the author or the man named Shakespeare. It’s all about money, lots of money, hundreds of millions of pounds. The plays are fantastic but don’t believe the man you think wrote them, he didn’t.
could it be, that shakespeare was actually poisoned? too much pickled herring and wine doesn't sound like a feasible or feastable cause for somekind of sudden death like that.
8:20 It would have been illegal for Shakspere to have worn a ruffled collar. Sumptuary laws played an important role in upholding the economic and social stability of Elizabethan England but don't let that stop your fantasy. No one called that person a writer during his lifetime. No one bothered to make a portrait of him, etc. All of this is created after he died. It reeks of identity theft since he was not alive to protest it. The first poems are published in 1593 followed by plays and sonnets and yet no one connects these to William Shakspere of Stratford until 1623. No one, including William Shakspere of Stratford upon Avon. He is not involved with the writing, editing, printing, selling or patronage. On his application for a coat of arms he wants to be known as a "player" not a writer or poet. His monument originally had no pen. At least some of his signatures are made by clerks on his behalf and the others are nearly illegible and not spelled "William Shakespeare" . He is not the guy that wrote all that stuff but that doesn't seem to stop the flow of these Harry Potter style fictions about Stratford.
I love these biographies. I am curious what the source is for saying his love poems are about a male friend. There is much we do not know about him so unless he dedicated the poems to this man or it was documented somewhere at the time this is interesting speculation. Remember he fathered 3 children and one was "out of wedlock". There would be nothing wrong if he was enamered with a man he knew but I think it is important to state speculation as speculation. You also do not address the fact thst some people think he did not write all the plays himself. Enjoyed watching it though.
An introductory method of cake making BY SUDSEY... In a street brawl in Verona Question's simmered in the wake ? Paused in questions of the piteous , Without bread , we must eat cake .. Juliet an only daughter Cast a spell on quest unwise ? Slipped a thought into a Romeo As she softly passed his eyes .. Alleviate in hour's stretching A method comes to forty two , Stops the brightest eyes from seeing, Turns the heart to coldest blue , Mice and Men have cast a notion, Of reflection's as a guide?, Tears were lost in sweet Verona , On the day that Romeo died..
The actual physical evidence of anything he ever wrote were four of his signatures that look more like scribbles with the different spellings for his name. There is a mountain of evidence pointing to Edward de vere being the actual writer. Almost all of the great Victorian writers and people such as Sigmund Freud and Mark Twain agree on this.
Everyone is saying that this is for thier freshman English class.??! I'm in sophomore AP English class watching this... * Cries in nevada: 50th in education*
Although, I do feel stating that Anne perhaps 'set a trap' for William. Sexual double standards were rife and 'lads about the town' were often sleeping around. If a woman fell pregnant, they were the ones who were cast out of families and criticised. I think this is a very old fashioned and male-dominant point to highlight. How bizarre. Reinforces the idea that it's the woman's fault or evil plan...
basically, John left a pile of literal shit (which the narrator calls a dung heap because its a bit of a nicer way of saying it) outside his neighbors house and was fined a shilling (about £13.73 in 2017 value, or a days wages) for doing so. he was a successful stratford glove maker so he was better than the rest of his family overall.
this was an issue because at the time residents had to use that shitpile to dump their shit on. it was a legal thing... imagine everybody shits in a bucket nowadays, and then you designate a place on your road where everybody on the road has to empty their buckets. John was a dick and put the pile outside his neighbours house instead - breaking the law and getting him fined.
The narrator does sound a lot like actor Rowan Atkinson( Mr. Bean, Blackadder) but about 95% of RP English narrators sound like that any way, even the female narrators.
Chris Riseley Daver8521 is convinced that Greene wasn't referring to Shakespeare but to actor Edward Alleyn. His reasoning is long and convoluted and pretty much relies upon the fact that Greene used the "beautified with our feathers" line on another occasion that probably wasn't referring to Alleyn, either. Basically, Anti-Strats are desperate to try to nitpick every bit of evidence for Shakespeare. Greene is especially troublesome because he's someone who was in a position to know, calling the actor Shakespeare a poet. I've heard one guy even claim that Greene didn't really exist, and that he was an early pen-name for Oxford, and that Henry Chettle and Gabriel Harvey were working for Oxford to maintain the ruse. Anyway, interesting take on Groatsworth. Thanks for the link.

An introductory method of cake making
BY SUDSEY...
In a street brawl in Verona
Question's simmered in the wake ?
Paused in questions of the piteous ,
Without bread , we must eat cake ..
Juliet an only daughter
Cast a spell on quest unwise ?
Slipped a thought into a Romeo
As she softly passed his eyes ..
Alleviate in hour's stretching
A method comes to forty two ,
Stops the brightest eyes from seeing,
Turns the heart to coldest blue ,
Mice and Men have cast a notion,
Of reflection's as a guide?,
Tears were lost in sweet Verona ,
On the day that Romeo died..

The RSC is premiering a play based on O Farrell’s ‘Hamnet’ ! I haven’t read the book, though I have heard it’s a great read!
This be BUSSSIN 🔥🥶😔
Line from an old Western movie (not Shakespeare): "When the legend becomes fact-print the legend."..
My teacher made us takes notes on this video now my test on it is Tuesday
My teacher we lean this one and we sing and make a show for the school play
The actual physical evidence of anything he ever wrote were four of his signatures that look more like scribbles with the different spellings for his name. There is a mountain of evidence pointing to Edward de vere being the actual writer. Almost all of the great Victorian writers and people such as Sigmund Freud and Mark Twain agree on this.
Everyone is saying that this is for thier freshman English class.??!
I'm in sophomore AP English class watching this...

Born @ Died on the same date. Cool!. 📚 Fun fact:🎨 Rembrandt was born around the same time Shakespeare died. As an artist, just wanted to mention this.
Although, I do feel stating that Anne perhaps 'set a trap' for William. Sexual double standards were rife and 'lads about the town' were often sleeping around. If a woman fell pregnant, they were the ones who were cast out of families and criticised. I think this is a very old fashioned and male-dominant point to highlight. How bizarre.
Reinforces the idea that it's the woman's fault or evil plan...
Let's also not forget that he was clearly unfaithful in London... 😁
What's the video explaining about Jhon Shakespeare and the sewage in minute 12.00? I'm not a native and it's getting pretty tough to understand :/
basically, John left a pile of literal shit (which the narrator calls a dung heap because its a bit of a nicer way of saying it) outside his neighbors house and was fined a shilling (about £13.73 in 2017 value, or a days wages) for doing so.
he was a successful stratford glove maker so he was better than the rest of his family overall.
this was an issue because at the time residents had to use that shitpile to dump their shit on. it was a legal thing...
imagine everybody shits in a bucket nowadays, and then you designate a place on your road where everybody on the road has to empty their buckets. John was a dick and put the pile outside his neighbours house instead - breaking the law and getting him fined.
The narrator does sound a lot like actor Rowan Atkinson( Mr. Bean, Blackadder) but about 95% of RP English narrators sound like that any way, even the female narrators.
ive heard rowan speaking and he really doesnt. :3
And I thought you were going to tell us about Sir Francis Bacon and the other illegitimate children of Queen Elisabeth.
Watch this in a faster playback speed. Trust me.
It's not Richard Green who called Will an "upstart crow," it's Robert Greene!
And Robert Greene was not talking about Shakespeare, but a theatre owner and actor named Edward Alleyn.
daver8521 Are you still on about that? I don't suppose you have any better evidence than you had before, do you?
Chris Riseley Daver8521 is convinced that Greene wasn't referring to Shakespeare but to actor Edward Alleyn. His reasoning is long and convoluted and pretty much relies upon the fact that Greene used the "beautified with our feathers" line on another occasion that probably wasn't referring to Alleyn, either.
Basically, Anti-Strats are desperate to try to nitpick every bit of evidence for Shakespeare. Greene is especially troublesome because he's someone who was in a position to know, calling the actor Shakespeare a poet. I've heard one guy even claim that Greene didn't really exist, and that he was an early pen-name for Oxford, and that Henry Chettle and Gabriel Harvey were working for Oxford to maintain the ruse.
Anyway, interesting take on Groatsworth. Thanks for the link.
Ahh... Internet stuff. Yes. THAT "controversy" that is no controversy at all. I had hoped it was forgotten.
my LA teacher made me watch this as well
