Shakespeare's grave

On his grave is written: Good friend for Jesus sake forbear, To


dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed be the man that spares
these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones.
William Shakespeare was probably born on 23 April 1564. He
was born in Stratford-upon-Avon. William Shakespeare was
baptized at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon on April
26, 1564. He was the third child of eight and the eldest
surviving son.

William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway on November 28,


1582, in Worcester. William was 18 and Anne was 26. Their first
child, a daughter they named Susanna, was born on May 26,
1583. Two years later, on February 2, 1585, twins Hamnet and
Judith were born. Hamnet died at age 11.

After the birth of the twins, there are seven years of William
Shakespeare's life where no records exist.

Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in


London as an actor and writer. Shakespeare produced most of
his known work between 1589 and 1613. With the exception of
Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare's first plays were mostly
histories written in the early 1590s.His early plays were mainly
comedies and histories and these works remain regarded as
some of the best work produced in these genres. He then wrote
mainly tragedies until about 1608, considered some of the
finest works in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote
tragicomedies, also known as romances.

His most famous works are: Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar,


King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, King John, and others.

He became one of the most famous writers in the world, and he


is also famous today.People all around the world are reading his
works.

Around 1613, at the age of 49, he retired to Stratford. He died


on 23 April 1616, at the age of 52.

My opinion about him is positive . I like his works, like most of


people on Earth. We can learn a lot from them.
I will recommend his works to teenagers and older people, but i
dont recommend it for kids under 11 years old, because they
dont understand essence of it.
