William Shakespeare wasn't destined for greatness. He wasn't born to a family of wealth, but that's how he ended up. He never continued his education at university, never came under the membership of a senior artist, and he never married into wealth or prestige. He was a very modest actor, since he's not known for starring roles. Now, Shakespeare is the most performed and read play right in the world.

He didn't go to a university or college, neither did he become or have mentorship of a senior artist. Even know he didn't start off wealthy he ended up with nobility.

William Shakespeare came up by a very unwealthy family. He went to school until about age thirteen because of low income. He then grew up and got married to have 3 children. Most of his writing was based on comedies, history, and tragedies. He was known and still is known as one of the best writers in the world. He moved to London where he started a family and got inspired by some of his great ideas known today. He wasn't just one of those writers that were so serious and boring. He also wrote amazing jokes that has made him different from everyone else.

William Shakespeare was a poet, play writer, and a actor. He was born on April 23, 1564, and died on April 23, 1616 at the age or (51). His father played important roles in the government. William was enrolled at the King's New School in Stratford. He grew up and had three kids two daughters and one son. His wife's name was Anne Hathaway. The first play he ever wrote was Henry vi. What is magical about his works are that they are so human and emotion provoking that they transcend time. We know many of his works not as plays for the stage, but for screen plays performed in movies. I think that he would be amazed at how popular that his works are almost 400 years after his death.

It is believed he went to school till he was thirteen. That’s when his family fell on hard times. He was married and had three children. In 1591 he moved to England.

The man we have come to know as William Shakespeare, the famous playwright, and actor may not have actually existed. Mind blowing. there has been a lot of speculation about who he was and what he did. One of the most popular theories is that a ghost writer and wrote his plays under the name of a noblemen, William Shakespeare. Another theory is that it was a collection of writers under his name including his supposed arch nemesis Christopher Marlowe. People first began to suspect that this famous play write never existed about 150 years after his supposed death. One reason people began to suspect Shakespeare as a phony is his last name, Shake spear. Shaking a spear or the shaker of the spear was the name given to the Greek goddess of war Athena. The only physical writing we have from this mysterious shaker of the spear is his signature on his will. There is no conclusive evidence that anyone under the name of William Shakes spear ever existed.

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon about 100 miles from London in 1564 and he died in 1616. When William was around 13 his father lost his job so he had to drop out of school. He then got his girlfriend Anne Hathaway pregnant at 18, and married her. Around 1585-1592, he moved his family to London and became a writer and part owner of a theater. He was attributed with authoring 154 Sonnets and 37 plays but even to this day there are discussions as to how many of these writings were actually written by him. There are some historians that believe that the plays may have been ghost written by a number of other authors and done under an "umbrella" pen name. The plays are categorized into 3 main styles; Comedies, Histories or Tragedies. The plays and sonnets have been used as the basis for many famous movies and stage productions.

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford on 23rd April 1564.His father William was a successful local businessman and his mother Mary was the daughter of a landowner., it is likely the family paid for Williams education, although there is no evidence he attended a university.In 1582 William, aged only 18, married an older woman named Anne Hathaway. They had three children, Susanna, Hamnet and Juliet. Their only son Hamnet died aged just 11.shakespeareAfter his marriage, information about the life of Shakespeare is sketchy but it seems he spent most of his time in London writing and acting in his plays.Duee to some well timed investments Shakespeare was able to secure a firm financial background, leaving time for writing and acting. The best of these investments was buying some real estate near Stratford in 1605 which soon doubled in value. Maggie Myers 6/7
