Shakespeare


Hello. My name is Wataru Iwasaki. I would like to post about Shakespeare's personal history. I have known his name before I take this class, but I know only it. I did not know what he did and what he was. At first, April 1564, he was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and his work is more than 150 sonnets and 38 plays until he died in 1616. These huge works are highly regarded by many people. "Hamlet" is typical of Shakespear' work. It is tragedy. The content of "Hamlet" is that Hamlet take revenge to his uncle who killed his farther and robbed his mother and the throne. Through this class, I knew a lot of British litterature and these background. They excited my curiosity. I am looking forward next litterature. Here is a picture of Shakespeare. Thank you.
