Abstract

The greatest popular playwright in the English language is most likely the playwright and poet William Shakespeare. Shakespeare's early years are also poorly documented, leaving historians with limited knowledge of this period of his existence. Shakespeare was born in England's Stratford. Shakespeare was a gifted child who was the third of eighth children. He enrolled himself to a grammar school, but left at the age of sixteen. Shakespeare was not widely acknowledged to the public between 1585 and 1593. Shakespeare's career did not take off until 1593. Shakespeare endured difficulties in his career, but despite this, he is regarded as one of the best playwrights in mankind since. Even in his early 20s, he was well-known across London, never gave up when things seemed hopeless, and continued keeping audiences delighted and demanding even more. First of all, in the early seventeenth century, William Shakespeare rose to fame. He was for all stages of life, not just one. Shakespeare was an author and playwright who spoke to all people. In his theatrical endeavours, he crafted the most compelling protagonists. His plays have a wide variety of personalities. Shakespeare was a brilliant playwright of his generation, and in my opinion, nearly all of the pieces he wrote are his finest works.
