2. William Shakespeare was an English poet, Playwright,
and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in
the English language and the world's pre-eminent
dramatist . He is often called England's national poet,
and the "Bard of Avon”. His extant works,
including collaborations, consist of approximately 38
plays,154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few
other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays
have been translated into every major living
language and are performed more often than those of
any other playwright.

3. Shakespeare was
born and brought up
in Stratford-upon-
Avon, Warwickshire.
26 April 1564-23 April
1616
Where and in what year was born shakespeare?

5. •Joan was the first son of John and Mary was baptized 15 September 1558 (which
only survived two months
•Margaret was baptized 2 December 1562 - he died a year later
•William was baptized 26 April 1564 (died 1616 aged 52)
•Gilbert was baptized 13 October 1566 (died 1612 aged 46)
•Another daughter, also named Joan, born in 1569 (died 1646 aged 77)
•Anne was baptized 28 September 1571 (1579 died 8 years)
•Richard was baptized 11 March 1574 (died 1613 aged 39)
•Edmund was baptized May 3, 1580 (died 1607 aged 27)

6. William Shakespeare and Anne had
three children. Their first child was
Susanna, was born just six months after
his parents' wedding. She was baptized
on May 26, 1583, and the twins arrived
in January 1585. They were baptized on
2 February of that year and named
Hamnet and Judith, after two very close
friends of William: the Stratford baker,
Hamnet Sadler and his wife, Judith.
Tragically, Hamnet Shakespeare died of
unknown causes in August 1596, at the
age of eleven. The events of his short
life are unrecorded.

8. Shakespeare probably began his education at the age
of six or seven at the Stratford grammar school,
which is still standing only a short distance from his
house on Henley Street and is in the care of the
Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Although we have no
record of Shakespeare attending the school, due to
the official position held by John Shakespeare it
seems likely that he would have decided to educate
young William at the school which was under the
care of Stratford's governing body.

9. School principal theme was Latin
grammar studies and readings in
college drilled every year. The
Avon River, the surrounding
farmland and the nearby forest
of Arden offers plenty of
opportunities for adventures of
childhood

10. Shakespeare left school in 1579
at the age of fifteen, possibly as
a result of family financial
problems. Shakespeare did not
follow formal education
beyond: he never attended a
university and is not considered
to be a truly learned man.

12. In 1592, 28, Shakespeare was in
London and already established as
an actor and playwright. He is first
mentioned as a man of the theater
by the poet and playwright Robert
Greene, Greene, Groats-Worth of
Witte published that year. Greene
referred to it as an "upstart crow"
who "is in his own eyes the only
Shake-scene in a country."

13. He had worked as an actor that
would have enhanced his
reputation as a poet, which
would have been important to
him

14. During his lifetime, Shakespeare's plays were performed on stages in
private theatres, provincial theatres, and playhouses. They were
acted out in the yards of bawdy inns and in the great halls of the
London inns of court. Although the Globe is certainly the most well
known of all the Renaissance stages associated with Shakespeare and
is rightfully the primary focus of discussion, a brief introduction to
some of the other Elizabethan theatres of the time provides a more
complete picture of the world in which Shakespeare lived and
worked.
We can classify Elizabethan theatres into two main groups -- those
within the London district and those located throughout the English
countryside. The theatres within the London district can be further
classified as playhouses, inn yards, and private theatres.

17. 1. El mercader de Venecia,
2. Mucho ruido y pocas
nueces,
3. Henry IV
4. Enrique V
5. Ricardo II
6. el rey Juan y Julio César.

18. 1. Romeo y Julieta
2. Hamlet
3. Otelo
4. Macbeth

19. It tells the story of two young lovers who,
despite opposition from their families, rival
each other, decide to marry in secret and live
together; however, the pressure of that rivalry
and a number of fatalities leads to suicide of
the two lovers. This relationship between the
families has become the archetype of the so-
called star-crossed lovers. The death of both,
however, is the reconciliation of the two
families.

22. It refers to the group of plays written and performed during the reign of Elizabeth I (reigned from
1558-1603), and especially the work of William Shakespeare (1564-1616).
Actually scholars generally extend the Elizabethan era to include the reign of James I (died in 1625),
then be spoken of "Jacobean theater" and even beyond, including that of his successor, Charles I,
until the closure of theaters in 1642 because of the arrival of the Civil War ("Caroline theater"). The
fact that it extends beyond the reign of Elizabeth I makes the drama written between the Anglican
Reformation and the closing of the theaters in 1642 English Renaissance theater is named.
Shakespeare James I devotes some of his major works, written to celebrate the accession to the
throne of the sovereign, as Othello (1604), King Lear (1605), Macbeth (1606 tribute to the Stuart
dynasty), and The Tempest ( 1611, which includes among others a "masquerade" musical interlude in
honor of the king who attended the first performance.)
The Elizabethan period does not coincide chronologically in full with the European Renaissance and
even less with the Italian, showing a strong Mannerist and Baroque emphasis on his later creations.
