William Shakespeare's writing has probably had more affect on today's stories and plot lines than anyone. Amazingly, Shakespeare did not ever attend a university. His intellect and quick learning lead him to his great success.
People always show a part of themselves in there writing, so who is William Shakespeare? We read him, we discuss him, we analyze him, yet we've never met any man like him. William Shakespeare is truly one of his own.
Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway when he was 18, Hathaway was 26. The two had eight children including a set of twins. The twins died 66 years apart, Hamnet at age 11 and Judith at age 77. Shakespeare himself, lived through the Plague and continued to write during this time.
Nobody really knows why William wrote the way he did, or what thoughts were running through his mind at this time, but he has been extremely influential. The modern art of text would not be the same without him. Even without what we today would call a proper education, he has still managed to become forever famous.
