Little else is known of his life before 1592, when he appeared as a playwright in London. He continued to live in London till c1610, enjoying fame and prosperity as a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Company, a theater group. In 1599 he became a part owner of the Globe Theatre and in 1608 owner of the Blackfriars Theatre. He retired to Stratford in 1613 and died in 1616. William Shakespeare is buried in the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford.

During his career, he wrote 37 plays, 154 Sonnets, and two poems. No other writer's plays have been produced as many times or read so widely as his. "His work communicates a profound knowledge of human nature, revealed through portrayals of a wide variety of characters. These vivid characters come from all types and from many walks of life. There are kings, pickpockets, drunkards, generals

, hired killers, shepherds, and philosophers" .Shakespeare's poetry expresses the deepest levels of human nature in universal situations and is considered one of the greatest accomplishments in literary history.

Hamlet is motivated by the oedipal complex which forces him to love his mother in another way, different from the way a son would love his mother.

In conclusion I would say the this scene plays a very important role in the play not only because it has a great dramatic significance but also because the audience learns more about each character and notice how these characters change the mood of the play.

It does not seem that Gertrude had anything to do with the murder of old Hamlet. When Hamlet speaks to her about ‘The Mousetrap’, she is predictably annoyed with Hamlet because he has upset Claudius “Hamlet thou hast thy father much offended” but she shows no signs of having a guilty conscience. Her innocence is further proven by the astonishment in her reply “as kill a king” to Hamlet. This is after his comparison of Polonius’s murder to that of the king and marrying his brother. Superficially, Hamlet’s quest for revenge may seem only to be brought on by his love for his father, but this is not so. He is simultaneously angry with his mother, jealous of her attention to Claudius, and desperately wishing for her love. He berates her with sharp edged comments, "you are the queen, your brother's wife and -would it were not so- you are my mother"; but he loves her just the same. His love for her is first expressed without words when he stays in Denmark instead of returning to college simply because she asks him to.
