William Shakespeare is the world's greatest dramatist and he is the National poet of England. He wrote many plays sonnets (a poem of 14 lines). Basically he wrote poems in his private dairy and he did not like to share them.

When William Shakespeare dead then, these Sonnets were published. He wrote many tragedies, comedies and personally, I like his tragedy most.

In our Bollywood Industry, many movies are based on the life of William Shakespeare's tragedies. Especially Vishal Bhardwaj, who is a great Indian film director and he made many movies related to William Shakespeare's tragedies.

At the time it is commonly said that the most readable book after Bible is William Shakespeare's Sonnets and tragedies.

He never went to any university and has no degree. There is no record found or exists of the birth of William Shakespeare. We do not have more knowledge about him and related to his life.

But scholars estimated that he was born on April 23, 1564 at Holy Trinity Church, England.

He was the 3rd child of John Shakespeare. His father was John Shakespeare and he was a leather merchant. He wrote many tragedies in which The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet were written around 1600. It was Shakespeare's longest play, with 29,551 words in which Hamlet is my favorite one.

You can easily relate yourself by Hamlet and in Bollywood a movie made on this story. He was mostly famous for his writing. He wrote a love story "Romeo and Juliet" that is famous all over the world.

He also wrote about Henry 4 (part 1,2,3).

William Shakespeare's Early Life:-

Many people believed that he did his schooling from King's New School in Stratford and in that school he learnt reading, writing and the classic.

At the age of 18 years he married with a 26 years old woman and her name was Anne Hathaway on 28 November, 1582 in Canterbury Province.

LOST YEAR:-

It is a period of 7 years and scholar did not found any evidence or records after the birth of Shakespeare's twin daughters in 1585. So, scholars said that period as the lost year.

He wrote on several main theme:- histories, tragedies, comedies and tragicomedies. His famous tragicomedies are Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest. It is difficult to find the exact chronology of his plays but approximately he wrote 37 plays.

Family Background:-

At starting he wrote mostly histories. In 1610, Shakespeare took retirement and in 1616 William Shakespeare died.

Before he died, he would have given all his property and wealth to his elder daughter whose name was 'Susanna Hall'.

William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway had 3 children in which one boy Hamnet and 2 daughter (Susanna Hall and Judith). But When Hamnet (his boy) was 11 years old then he died. Shakespeare loved more with his elder daughter Susanna Hall and she was eldest among his 3 children.

The especial things which I noticed that he wrote on kings as well as on villagers.

Thank you friends for reading :)
