Shakespeare Explication

            William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon in 1564. He came from a middle class family, which was supported by his very successful father, who was a favorite in the community. As it was common in those days, Shakespeare never had a formal education, but attended school up until grammar school. He married a woman in her thirties at the age of eighteen, and had three children with her. Then, only eight years later, he ran away from them to pursue his career as an actor. Later, he met up with the owner and renowned playwright that owned the Globe Theater. It was here that he got his fame and fortune when he became a playwright. After all of his fame and success, he died at the age of fifty-two in 1616.
             Over time, Shakespeare's work began to gain much acclaim throughout England, and eventually the world. His work was soon determined as even works of sheer brilliance. Parts of his life unfortunately remain a mystery, and many people speculate that Shakespeare wasn't even as great as they had expected. Some even believed that he didn't even write his plays at all. But, these theories aren't even taken seriously by most professors or scholars. In any opinion, Shakespeare has forever changed literature and the world that we live in today.
