Today I have also decided to tell you something about the author, because he is my biggest idol in history and it would be a shame if someone didn´t know much about him. William Shakespeare is considered as the greatest writer and poet in English history. He wrote 38 plays, 154 sonnets and two long narrative poems. His plays are nowadays played more than the plays of any other writer in history. He had a wife named Anne Hathaway with whom he had three children. Later. he began a successful career in London as an actor and a part-owner of a playing company called Lord Chamberlain´s Men, which was later renamed to King´s Men. There have been many speculations about his personal life due to his sonnets. He is thought to perhaps have had mistress and maybe he was even homosexual. I personaly believe, that these are just rumours. He also mainly wrote tragedies, some are: Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, Macbeth and others. I personaly adore him because of his sonnets. In the year 1609 Shakespeare published a book consisting of 154 sonnets which he wrote. Shakespeare wrote these sonnets all throughout his carrer. To sum it up, Shakespeare was the greatest writer in history and should be adored until the end of time. :-)
