Shakespeare was England's finest playwright and poet. He grew up in a town with 200 homes,in a nice house his father afforded because he made luxurious gloves. He attended a grammar school where he learned Latin and grammar. This is also where he got his first taste of theatre. After being married and having children, he started his career. In under 20 years Shakespeare wrote plays and poems that would last for years and years. For example he wrote the famous Romeo and Juliet, this play is still being studied and read in schools across the world. Also, people are still performing his plays and studying his work. His first play he wrote was Henry VI, and he wrote this for Actor's company, which later changed their name to Lord Chamberlain's Men. Shakespeare has performed for many important people and has written plays performed in front of many noble people as well. Without Shakespeare there would be a huge gap in literature and many poets would have to find another person's work to mimic. Shakespeare was a very brilliant author even though some of his plays are thought to belong to another writer. He will definitely be taught throughout the future as the poet who changed many things.
