Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was a writer, poet, artist, and a visionary. He wrote 154-ish sonnets, around 5 long narrative poems that we know of, and 37 plays that were showed throughout his life. He married Anne Hathaway at the age of 18, staying with him until his death in 1616 of (possibly) typhus. He wrote many plays during his lifetime, among those are some of the most famous plays ever like Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. He was great in fact “It may be audacious even to attempt a definition of his greatness…” people would be foolish to attempt to describe it (Spencer).
