William Shakespeare was a man that was born and raised in Stratford.  His birth date is still unknown.  He wrote many different plays, sonnets, and many different poems.  He is one of the greatest English writers in history.  His works were mostly comedies, historical events; his later years were mostly tragedies.  Shakespeare’s plays and poetry did not get well known until the 19th century.

Most students’ think that Shakespeare’s work is hard to understand and boring.  I have to agree that at first, reading Shakespeare is difficult.  If you spend enough time reading and trying to understand what he is trying to say, then you have a better chance of interpreting what the words are saying.  I still have a hard time figuring out is going on in the text, but now that I have read Shakespeare before, it becomes easier to comprehend.
