Although the name of William Shakespeare is well-known in the world, we know very little about his life.
In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway. During some years his three children were born: Susannah and then twins - a son, Hamnet and a girl, Judith.

WORK
In 1587 Shakespeare went to work in London, leaving his family at home. Soon he became an actor playing supporting roles. In 1599 William became a part owner of the Globe Theatre in London. Most of his plays were performed in the new Globe Theatre built on the bank of the River Thames.

1623

Shakespeare wrote: 36 plays 154 sonnets 2 poems
AII THE WORLD’S A STAGE, AND AII THE MEN AND WOMEN MERELY PLAYERS.

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
To be or not to be, that is a question:   Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer   The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune   Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,      And by opposing, end of them? To die-, to sleep,  No more, and, by a sleep to say we end  The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks  That flesh in heir to; ‘tis a consummation  Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep-  To sleep, perchance to dream…
Быть или не быть- таков вопрос; Что благородней думам- покоряться Пращам и стрелам яростной судьбы Иль, ополчась на море смут, сразить их Противоборством? Умереть, уснуть - И только и сказать, что сном кончаешь Тоску и тысячу природных мук Наследье плоти,- как такой развязки Не жаждать? Умереть, уснуть.-Уснуть!

Sonnet – a type of poem with 14 lines and regular rhymes

death
In 1613 he stopped writing and came back to Stratford where he died in 1616. This is the place where the house on which Shakespeare died used to be. It was a big house bought by William Shakespeare for his family when he was still in London. Here he spent the last years of his life. Unfortunately, the house was destroyed. It’s interesting that William died on his birthday, 23 April.

“To be or not to be, that is the question”
The beginning at the end. The whirling of time. There’s the rub. All is well, that ends well. To win golden opinions.
Начало конца. Превратности судьбы Вот в чём загвоздка. Всё хорошо, что хорошо кончается. Заслужить благоприятное мнение.
