William Shakespeare Shakespeare was a great literature writer and performer of his time.//He was the only man to create the english// //language.//He had many great accomplishments. From Romeo and Juliet to hamlet, Shakespeare was the best introduction to literature. There’s been drama, heartbreak and love that have the viewers all on edge. Shakespeare was a great writer and performer which made him stand out.

William Shakespeare’s childhood William was born in April 23rd, 1564 in Stratford, England. He had begun his education at the age of six (bardweb.com). He had the descent childhood of every other child. Didn’t have many friends but to past time he helped his fathers financial troubles by working in a butcher shop (About.com). Through his childhood it required work and thinking. Influence on literature Shakespeare had a huge influence on literature and the English language. Shakespeare invented over 1700 of our common words (About.com). Many phrases that are used today, he made up. //For example,To be or not to// //be.// This made a big deal for the English language (About.com). He was the greatest writer of the literature. William Shakespeare was the reason for our way of speech. The Elizabethan age: Brief Introduction Through the Elizabethan age many ways of art came about in England (Elizabethan England.com). Back then things were handled differently, like punishments for crimes as an example. Crimes would be public drunkenness or women speaking to freely or gossip (Elizabethan England.). Torture was used for those who were breaking the laws, mostly devices that can’t be used today. The use of England’s ways has been changed. Queen Elizabeth the 1st Elizabeth I was 25 years old when she became Queen of England in 1558. Her 45-year reign, which ended with her death in 1603, saw England's emergence as a nation of tremendous political power and unparalleled cultural achievement. //Both shakespeare and queen elizabeth had an eye for culture and literature, thus making england and both of those figures more intact with the culture and ways of their lives.// Because so much of this English renaissance is directly attributable to Elizabeth's personal character and influence (as well as to the unprecedented length of her reign), it is appropriate that the last half of the sixteenth century in England is identified as the Elizabethan Period. Conclusion Shakespeare was the greatest writer and performer of literature during his time. England has been truly influenced by Shakespeare and queen Elizabeth the 1st. The English language has been changed and corrected over the last five hundred years because of Shakespeare.
