Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was a master of his craft. He commanded the English language as no one else could. But his talent did not end at words; it spilled over into creative plots and sub-plots; using brilliant characters to weave a story that fascinated the mind. In his time, William Shakespeare wrote 13 comedies, 13 historical plays, 6 tragedies, 4 tragicomedies, 154 sonnets, and countless poems before he died on his birthday in 1616 at the age of 52. In 13th century Italy, the sonnet was created by Petrarch. After his death no one thought that anyone could ever again master the fine art of the sonnet, until the 16th century when William Shakespeare took up the art of writing. Born in a small European town in 1564, he grew up writing beguiling, mesmeric and riveting plays about love, tragedy and comedy, though his style was clearly defined through his sonnets and poems. His works leapt off the page like no other. Just to name few, Othello a beautifully written tragedy about a black army general and his troubles with his love, A Midsummer Nights Dream, the wonderful comedy about an impoverished community as if in a fairy tale, and Romeo and Juliet, perhaps the most famous of his plays
