William Shakespeare is one of the famous writer. He was interesting, but the
question “Who is he?” still haunts anyone who has heard of his name. No one really
knows who he is; anyone who does is probably dead by now, but there are records of his
relatives and at least ten facts about him. The actual dates of his birthday and his
death are unknown, but April 23 is generally used. There are many mysteries that
surround the life of William Shakespeare. Some are based on facts and some are based on
fiction. Many are interesting facts, some are strange facts, and some are just not right.
He was the third child of John and Mary Shakespeare. According to the register of the
Holy Trinity Parish Church in Stratford, he was baptized on April 26, 1564. Most of his
siblings died because of the Bubonic Plague. Some of his relatives are controversial.
William Arden, a relative of Shakespeare’s mother Mary Arden, was arrested for plotting
against Queen Elizabeth I. He was imprisoned and executed in the Tower of London.
We do know that he married Anne Hathaway, a woman eight years older than
Shakespeare. She was three months pregnant when they got married. His children are
Susanna, Hamnet, and Judith Shakespeare. The first we hear of Susanna is on May 5,
1606 when Susanna was named as a recusant for not attending an Easter Day Church
service. Hamnet is Judith’s twin. He died because of the outbreaks of the Bubonic
Plague. Judith married a man named Thomas Quiney. William Shakespeare approved
their marriage, but he disapproved it when he found out he was having an affair.
Quiney was prosecuted. There are rumors about Shakespeare having an illegitimate son, William Devanant. His grandchildren all died.
We do not accurately know what Shakespeare looked like. Not one portrait was
painted of Shakespeare while he was still alive. The majority of his plays were only
published seven years after his death. He wrote great plays such as: Romeo and Juliet,
Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, and Hamlet. Plays diring the Elizabethan era were big
business. Plays were written and then performed as soon as possible. They were not
printed until after the were performed. There were no copyright laws to protect
Shakespeare’s work. Rivals from other theatre companies would copy the plays.
