and Craftsmen Williams Father John Shakespeare was a glove maker he made fine leather gloves and sold them in the Town Market he was a hard-working man respected in the community his mother Mary AR came from a wealthy farming family she was kind strong and full of love for her children William was the third of eight children the house was always noisy with laughter chatter and the sounds of daily life but William was different he was curious he observed everything he listened to how people spoke how they laughed how they cried he didn't know it yet

but this curiosity would one day make him the greatest playwright of all time in those days there were no televisions no phones no internet people entertained themselves with stories traveling actors would come to town and perform plays in the streets young William would watch in amazement his eyes wide with excitement he loved listening to old Legends folktales and heroic stories from history each story made his imagination stronger at the age of seven Williams started school the school was a small simple building with wooden benches and a strict teacher but what he learned there would shape

his Destiny he studied Latin history poetry and literature Latin was the language of Scholars and young William became quite good at it he read the Great stories of ancient Rome and Greece he discovered writers like ID Plutarch and Virgil their words stayed with him inspiring his future plays but William wasn't just a bookworm he loved nature he would walk through the green fields watch the river and listen to the sounds of birds he played with his friends ran through the streets and enjoyed life like any other boy yet there was something inside him a deep

hunger for Words stories and meaning just when life seemed normal trouble struck William's father once a respected businessman started facing financial problems he had borrowed money for his business but things were not going well this meant the family had less money it was a difficult time there were even days when they struggled to buy food William saw the stress in his father's eyes the worry in his mother's voice he knew that life was uncertain but instead of feeling hopeless he observed everything he felt every emotion deeply he learned that life is full of ups and

downs something he would later write about in his plays even as a child William had a special way with words he would make up little poems and Rhymes he loved to act to play roles to entertain his friends with stories but no one in Stratford upon Avon knew that this young boy would one day write the most famous plays in the world for now he was just William the boy with big dreams but those dreams were about to take him far very far William Shakespeare was growing up fast by the time he turned 14 he

had already read many books listened to hundreds of stories and watched traveling actors perform in his small town but life was not easy his father's financial troubles were getting worse the once respected businessman was now struggling to pay debts his family which had lived in Comfort was now facing tough times young Williams saw it all he saw how quickly life could change he understood that nothing in life was permanent not money not status not even happiness but instead of feeling hopeless he became more observant thoughtful and creative and then something happened that changed his life

forever by the time William turned 18 he was no longer a boy he was a young man and like many young men he fell in love her name was Anne Hathaway she was a beautiful intelligent and independent woman but there was something unusual about their love story an was 26 years old 8 years older than William in those times it was uncommon for a younger man to marry an older woman but love doesn't follow rules and William was deeply in love with Anne however something unexpected happened Anne Hathaway became pregnant before they were married this

was a big deal in those days Society was very strict about such matters and a child born outside of marriage would bring shame to both families so William and Anne had to get married quickly in November 1582 at just 18 years old William Shakespeare married an Hathaway he was still a young man trying to find his way in life and now he was about to become a father 6 months after the wedding Anne gave birth to their first child a baby girl named Susanna two years later in 1585 Anne gave birth to twins a boy

hamnet and a girl Judith at just 21 years old William Shakespeare was a husband and a father of three children life was moving fast but there was was one problem how would he support his family his father's business was still struggling and William had no stable job he knew he had to find a way to make money but what could he do he had no interest in working as a glove maker like his father he had no land no title no fortune but he had words he had stories he had a burning desire to create

the mysterious lost years 1585 to 1592 this was the period of Shakespeare's life that historians call The Lost years because no one knows exactly what he did during these seven years there are no records of him working in Stratford and no one knows for sure how he survived but there are some theories one some say he became a school teacher since he was well educated he might have worked as a private tutor for a rich family two some believe he worked as an actor he might have joined a traveling Theater Company learning the art of

performance three others say he got into legal trouble and had to leave Stratford one story suggests that he was caught hunting illegally on a rich man's land and had to run away whatever the truth may be one thing is certain by the time Shakespeare reappeared in history in 1592 he was no longer just a small town boy he was in London ready to Take On The World London in the late 1500s was a city full of energy ambition and opportunity it was the heart of England's theater scene filled with actors writers and Poets all competing

to make a name for themselves Shakespeare arrived in London with no money no connections and no experience but he had something more powerful Talent determination and an Unstoppable passion for storytelling he began working as an actor in small theater groups he studied everything the way people spoke how they moved how they expressed emotions and soon he started writing his own plays at first he wrote simple entertaining plays to make people laugh but as time passed he realized he could do more he could write plays that made people think feel and question life itself by 1592

Shakespeare was becoming well known in London's theater world but not everyone liked him a famous playwright named Robert Green insulted him in a letter calling him an upstart Crow meaning a nobody who was trying to act like a great WR but Shakespeare didn't let it stop him instead he worked harder he wrote more plays performed in more theaters and gained the respect of actors and audiences then in 1593 something terrible happened a deadly disease called the plague spread across London theaters were forced to close and Shakespeare suddenly found himself without work but he didn't give

up instead of writing plays he started writing poems he wrote two famous long poems one Venus and Adonis two the rape of lucra these poems made him rich and famous even the Queen of England Queen Elizabeth I was impressed by his work by 1594 theaters reopened and Shakespeare returned to doing what he loved most writing and Performing plays from 1594 onwards Shakespeare became part of a famous acting company called the Lord Chamberlain's men he was not just writing plays he was performing in them his plays were full of love and heartbreak Romeo and Juliet power

and ambition McBeth betrayal and revenge Hamlet jealousy and Madness othell by the late 1590s Shakespeare was one of the most famous playwrights in England but Shakespeare didn't stop he wanted more more success more influence and more masterpieces that would stand the test of time and that's exactly what he achieved the Globe Theater a home for Shakespeare's dreams in 1599 something extraordinary happened sh Shakespeare and his acting company the Lord Chamberlain's men decided to build their own theater they named it the Globe Theater imagine the scene a massive circular theater with an open roof thousands of

excited people rushing to get a seat the stage set for some of the greatest plays ever written this was Shakespeare's home his dream his kingdom at the globe he performed his greatest works Hamlet a story about revenge Madness and fate McBeth a tale of power ambition and guilt Othello a tragic story of love and jealousy Julius Caesar a political drama full of betrayal these plays were not just entertainment they were powerful stories that made people think feel and question life itself and soon Shakespeare's success brought him Wealth Beyond imagination by the early 1600s Shakespeare was

not just a famous writer he was one of the richest playwrights in England he owned shares in the Globe Theater which brought him a huge income every time a play was performed he earned money from published plays and poems which were sold all over England he received Royal support which meant the king and queen admired his work he bought multiple prop properties including a grand house in Stratford called new place at a time when most playwrights struggled to survive Shakespeare was living a comfortable wealthy life but Fame and Fortune were not enough for him he

wanted something bigger in 16003 a historic event changed everything Queen Elizabeth I who had supported Shakespeare died her successor was King James I at first no one knew if the new king would appreciate theater or if he would close the theaters forever but Shakespeare didn't have to worry King James loved his work in fact he loved Shakespeare's play so much that he personally invited Shakespeare's acting company to perform for him and then something incredible happened King James gave Shakespeare's company a royal title they were now called the King's Men this was the highest honor a

playwright could receive it meant they were official actors of The Royal Court they were protected and supported by the king himself they would perform in front of the most powerful people in England Shakespeare had gone from being a glove Maker's son to the most celebrated playright in England's history between 16003 and in 1611 Shakespeare wrote some of his most famous and deepest plays these were not just stories they were reflections of Life power love and loss King Lear a heartbreaking story of a father's betrayal McBeth the dark tale of ambition and destruction The Tempest a

magical story of forgiveness and New Beginnings his writing became darker more emotional and deeply philosophical because Shakespeare was changing he was growing older he had seen Fame Fortune betrayal and loss his plays became more personal and his characters felt more real than ever before by 1611 Shakespeare had achieved everything he had ever dreamed of he was famous he was rich he was respected by Kings and no William Shakespeare had lived a life beyond imagination he had gone from a small town boy in Stratford to the most famous playwright in history he had written tragedies comedies

and histories that changed the way people thought about life love power and fate he had performed for kings and queens and became one of the richest and most respected men of his time in 1613 Shakespeare made a decision that surprised everyone he retired for years he had lived in London writing acting and directing plays but deep inside he missed home he missed the quiet streets of Stratford he missed the green fields and rivers and most of all he missed his family so he packed his things and returned to new place his grand house in Stratford

here he planned to spend the rest of his life in peace he would wake up early in the morning and walk around his Gardens enjoying the beauty of nature he would sit by the fireplace reading books and thinking about the life he had lived he would spend time with his daughters Susanna and Judith talking about life love and the future sometimes visitors from London would come to see him asking for his advice on plays and poetry but even though he had retired his mind was still full of stories people say that even in his final

years he would sit for hours lost in his thoughts Whispering words of poetry to himself in 1616 something unexpected Happened One Day Shakespeare attended a dinner party with his friends it was a joyful evening laughter wine and conversation filled the room but soon after Shakespeare fell ill some say it was a fever some say it was a disease caught from the cold weather no one knows for sure but within days his health declined rapidly his family and friends gathered around him knowing that the greatest writer in history was leaving this world on April 23rd 1616

at the age of 52 William Shakespeare breathed his last breath the world had lost a genius but his words would never die before his death Shakespeare wrote a few lines that would be his final words to the world he knew that after his death people might move his body from his grave so he wrote an Epitaph a short poem warning anyone who tried to disturb his rest good friend for Jesus sake forbear to dig the dust enclosed here blessed be the man that SP Bears these stones and cursed be he that moves my bones even

in death his words were powerful and eternal when Shakespeare died Stratford fell silent people gathered at Holy Trinity Church the place where he was baptized as a baby to say their final goodbyes the church was filled with people actors writers family friends and and simple towns folk who had known him since childhood tears were shed prayers were whispered and his body was laid to rest in the very town where he was born no Grand monuments no golden tombs just a simple grave marked with his own words but little did the world know this was just

the beginning of his legacy Shakespeare's body may have been buried but his words refused to die his plays continued to be performed his books continued to be read his name continued to be spoken years passed then decades then centuries and yet Shakespeare remained alive in the hearts of people across the world his Works were translated into every language on Earth his stories inspired millions of writers filmmakers and Poets his words became a part of everyday speech with phrases like to be or not to be all the worlds a stage a rose by any other name
