Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, as well as one of the greatest in Western literature and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. tween e plays very few nd his poetic ing he world. ay usage ted about er he was ome or all dia fe by William Shakespeare Biography William Shakespeare (National Portrait Gallery), in the famous Chandos portrait, artist and authenticity unconfirmed. Shakespeare is believed to have produced most of his work between 1586 and 1616, although the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed to him are often uncertain. He is counted among the very few playwrights who have excelled in both tragedy and comedy, and his plays combine popular appeal with complex characterization, poetic grandeur and philosophical depth. Shakespeare's works have been translated into every major living language, and his plays are continually performed all around the world. In addition, quotations from his plays have passed into everyday usage in many languages. Over the years, many people have speculated about Shakespeare's life, raising questions about his sexuality, whether he was secretly Catholic, and debating whether someone else wrote some or all of his plays and poetry. Early life William Shakespeare (also spelled Shakspere, Shaksper, and Shake-speare, because spelling in Elizabethan times was not fixed and absolute[1]) was born in Henley Street, in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, in April 1564, the son of John Shakespeare, a successful tradesman and alderman, and of Mary Arden, a daughter of the gentry. Shakespeare's baptismal record dates to April 26 of that year. Because baptisms were performed within a few days of birth, tradition has settled on April 23 (May 4 on the Gregorian calendar) as his birthday. This date provides a convenient symmetry because Shakespeare died on the same day in Image of Shakespeare from the First Folio (1623), the first collected edition of his plays. As the son of a prominent town official, Shakespeare was entitled to attend King Edward VI Grammar School in central Stratford, which may have provided an intensive education in Latin grammar and literature. Also, mainstream scholars assume that Shakespeare was a student at the Stratford Free School, since he would have been entitled to attend it, and textbooks used at the Stratford Free School are alluded to in the plays. At the age of 18, he married Anne 02/22/ :39 PM Hathaway, who was 26, on November 28, 1582 at Temple Grafton, near Stratford. Two neighbours of Anne posted bond that there were no William Shakespeare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia impediments to the marriage. There appears to have been some haste in arranging the ceremony, presumably due to the fact that Anne was three months pregnant. After his marriage, William Shakespeare left few traces in the historical record until he appeared on London 7.5the Poems theatrical scene. Indeed, the late 1580s are known as Shakespeare's "Lost Years" because no evidence has survived to show exactly where 7.6 Apocrypha he was or why he left Stratford for London.

Analysis must follow quotations, and must highlight the relevance of the quotation to the main point you are making in the topic sentence of that paragraph. F. Whenever possible, comment on Shakespeare s use of language (i.e., literary devices). In this play, characters express love and hatred, excitement and fear, joy and grief in powerful and memorable speeches, and you should point this out at every opportunity. Detailed comments on Shakespeare s mastery use of language will distinguish an excellent essay from a merely competent one. If a quotation includes a simile, metaphor, or an example of personification, comment on its effectiveness. If a speech includes use of an oxymoron, pun, or double entendre, point this out and say what they add to the speech. In addition, point out and comment on examples of dramatic irony. Literary Device Reminders: Double entendre A pun in which one meaning is vulgar or crude. Simile A comparison using like or as. Metaphor A comparison that does not use like or as. Oxymoron A self-contradictory combination of words. Pun A word or phrase with two meanings. Dramatic irony This occurs when a character is not aware of the full significance of their words. The words become ironic to the audience because the audience has information that the character does not. Personification A comparison in which something is depicted metaphorically as a person (e.g., Romeo V iii 45 compares the tomb to a disgusting human as he breaks in. All the underlined words depict the tomb as a human: Thou detestable maw (=mouth), thou womb of death, Gorg d (=overfed) with the dearest morsel of the earth, Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open). You will be evaluated according to the rubric on the next page. 10
