William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare, who is frequently referred to as England's national poet, is a literary master who has been read and admired for more than 400 years. Because there is so little information on his birth, schooling, and upbringing as a whole, his life and time may only be inferred from thin strands of supposition.

However, it is evident that he wrote 154 sonnets, various plays, 37 plays with a total of three or four different colorful themes (romances, tragedies, comedic tragedies, and histories), and that he was the most well-known author in the entire globe. His works, like as "As You Like It", "Twelfth Night", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "The Tempest", and many others, are almost all regarded as classics. Not to mention his love of eloquence, dark subjects, narcissism, metaphors, and remarks that almost always struck a chord with both the queen and the common people, his writings move readers to tears and laughter.

Additionally, he used the "iambic pentameter", a self-invented literary style that allowed for ten syllables each line in his sonnets. Shakespeare was a master of poetry and, more importantly, of language. Every statement, whether it be an arrogant response by a character or just a soliloquy: To be or not to be, that is the question - which also happens to be my personal favorite - has been kept for years and years and is still frequently quoted today.
