Shakespear

This is a portrait of Shakespeare at a later age.

William Shakespeare was born April 23, 1564 on Henley Street of Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Shakespeare was baptized April 26, 1564 at the Holy Trinity Church. Shakespeare’s father was John Shakespeare, who was a glove maker and a leather merchant. John had great success in his career, but that success turned to failure in the 1570’s. Shakespeare’s mother, Mary Arden was a landed heiress. Mary and John had eight children of which Shakespeare was the third.

Shakespeare’s childhood is actually an assumption formed by historians. This assumption mainly deals with Shakespeare’s education. Shakespeare supposedly went to the local grammar school, for free, where he learned Latin and Greek. Shak

From 1601-1608 the third period was occurring. During this period of time Shakespeare wrote some of his best tragedies. These tragedies exhibited the knowledge that life has a tragic side. Also in this period Shakespeare wrote some histories and comedies. Shakespeare wrote Hamlet, Troilus and Cressida, All’s Well That Ends Well, Measure for Measure, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Timon of Athens, Pericles, Antony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus in this period.

The second period consists of each type of writing. This period ranged from 1595-1600. The characterization in these plays led to great tragedies Shakespeare produced later on. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Richard II, Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice, Henry IV, As You Like It, Henry V, Julius Caesar, Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, and The merry Wives of Windsor were all written in the second period.

written during this period were, The Comedy of Errors, Henry VI, Richard III, The Taming of the Shrew, Titus Andronicus, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and King John.

The Theatre continued to grow for twenty-one years. Suddenly trouble hit the Theatre. The landowner, Giles Allen refused to renew the lease on the Theatre. Richard and Cuthbert Burbage became managers of the Theatre, so they attempted to renew the lease. Richard and Cuthbert owned the Theatre and they wanted their lumber. As a result they leased land across the Thames River, transported the Theatre’s lumber, and began to build the Globe.
