- Shakespeare was probably born on April 23, 1564, but this date is an educated guess because we only have a record of his baptism three days later. His parents, John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, were successful townsfolk who moved to a large house in Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon from the surrounding villages. His father became a wealthy town official and his mother was from an important, respected family. It is widely assumed that he attended the local grammar school where he would have studied Latin, Greek and classical literature. His early education must have made a huge impact on him because many of his plots draw on the classics. At 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway from Shottery who was already pregnant with their first daughter. He was the creator of The Lord Chamberlain's Men.
- I believe most of us students struggle understanding Shakespeare. But when I do understamd, it is a beautiful thing.
