Q:- Who is the world greatest Dramatists?
-> William Shakespeare...
Scholars consider William Shakespeare the world's greatest dramatists. Shakespear is called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His early plays were mainly comedies and histories. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances.
He wrote 37 plays which are classified into three types that is, historical, tregedies and comedies. The historical plays give an account of the life of a historical person. The characters and the situations in the historical deviate from the actual only to make their motives and actions understandable to the people. Shakespeare's historicals include Henry V, Julius Ceaser and Antony and Cleopatra.
Tragedies are sad plays but they show his deep understanding of the human mind and nature. They include Hamlet, King Lear, Othello and Romeo and Juliet.
His comedies are lively and full of wit and humour. They include Midsummer's Night Dream and Twelfth Night.
William Shakespeare was the son of John Shakespeare, a successful glover and alderman. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and baptised on 26 April 1564. His actual birthdate is unknown, but is traditionally observed on 23 April St. George. He was the third child of eight and the eldest surviving son.
At 18, he married the 26-year-old Anne Hathaway, who was pregnant. Susanna, the first of their three children, was born six months later on 26 May 1583. However, over the centuries readers have pointed to Shakespeare's sonnets as evidence of his love for a young man.
Others read the same passages as the expression of intense friendship rather than sexual love. At the same time, the twenty-six so-called "Dark Lady" sonnets, addressed to a married woman, are taken as evidence of heterosexual relationship.
Some other speculations over the centuries surrounding various aspects of Shakespeare's life include his religious affiliation,sources for collaborations, authorship of and chronology of the plays and sonnets.
