William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon around April 23, 1564. He wasn’t an only child, but the third of eight in his family. Williams farther sent him to school, but it’s not known if he went further than the free school he attended it is said he left school at the age of fourteen. He was married at the age of 18 to a 26 year old woman named Anne Hathaway. They had 3 children Susanna May 26, 1583 and twins Hamnet and Judith born February 2, 1585. Shakespeare lost one child in August 11, 1596. There was a period in his life where there are no documents of him which have been now called (the lost years). He had written several plays from Romeo and Juliet to Macbeth most of his works revolved around tragedy and death. William Shakespeare retired in 1611 and also in this year he wrote his will it is said that he died on April 23, 1616. Although there have been people who think he never wrote anything or that there never really was a William Shakespeare. The legacy he left behind has given us a lot of plays and a lot of movie adaptations from his plays and works.
