WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616), English poet, player and playwright, was baptized in the parish church of Stratford upon-Avon in Warwickshire on the 26th of April 1564. The exact date of his birth is not known. Two. 18th-century antiquaries, William Oldys and Joseph Greene, gave it as April 23, but without quoting authority for their statements, and the fact that April 23 was the day of Shakespeare's death in 1616 suggests a possible source of error. In any case his birthday cannot have been later than April 23, since the inscription upon his monument is evidence that on April 23, 1616, he had already begun his fifty-third year. His father, John Shakespeare, was a burgess of the recently constituted corporation of Stratford, and had already filled certain minor municipal offices. From 1561 to 1563 he had been one of the two chamberlains to whom the finance of the town was entrusted. By occupation he was a glover, but he also appears to have dealt from time to time in various kinds of agricultural produce, such as barley, timber and wool. Aubrey (Lives, 1680) spoke of him as a butcher, and it is quite possible that he bred and even killed the calves whose skins he manipulated. He is sometimes described in formal documents as a yeoman, and it is highly probable that he combined a certain amount of farming with the practice of his trade. He was living in Stratford as early as 1552, in which year he was fined for having a dunghill in Henley Street, but he does not appear to have been a native of the town, in whose records the name is not found before his time; and he may reasonably be identified with the John Shakespeare of Snitterfield, who administered the goods of his father, Richard Shakespeare, in 1561. Snitterfield is a village in the immediate neighbourhood of Stratford, and here Richard Shakespeare had been settled as a farmer since 1529. It is possible that John Shakespeare carried on the farm for some time after his father's death, and that by 1570 he had also acquired a small holding called Ingon in Hampton Lucy, the next village to Snitterfield. But both of these seem to have passed subsequently to his brother Henry, who was buried at Snitterfield in 1596. There was also at Snitterfield a Thomas Shakespeare and an Anthony Shakespeare, who afterwards moved to Hampton Corley; and these may have been of the same family. A John Shakespeare, who dwelt at Clifford Chambers, another village close to Stratford, is clearly distinct. Strenuous efforts have been made to trace Shakespeare's genealogy beyond Richard of Snitterfield, but so far without success. Certain drafts of heraldic exemplifications of the Shakespeare arms speak, in one case of John Shakespeare's grandfather, in another of his great-grandfather, as having been rewarded with lands and tenements in Warwickshire for service to Henry VII. No such grants, however, have been traced, and even in the 16th-century statements as to " antiquity and service " in heraldic preambles were looked upon with suspicion.

The name Shakespeare is extremely widespread, and is spelt in an astonishing variety of ways. That of John Shakespeare occurs 166 times in the Council Book of the Stratford corporation, and appears to take 16 different forms. The verdict, not altogether unanimous, of competent palaeographers is to the effect that Shakespeare himself, in the extant examples of his signature, always wrote " Shakspere." In the printed signatures to the dedications of his poems, on the title-pages of nearly all the contemporary editions of his plays that bear his name, and in many formal documents it appears as Shakespeare.

This may be in part due to the martial derivation which the poet's literary contemporaries were fond of assigning to his name, and which is acknowledged in the arms that he bore. The forms in use at Stratford, however, such as Shaxpeare, by far the commonest, suggest a short pronunciation of the first syllable, and thus tend to support Dr Henry Bradley's derivation from the Anglo-Saxon personal name, Seaxberht. It is interesting, and even amusing, to record that in 1487 Hugh Shakspere of Merton College, Oxford, changed his name to Sawndare, because his former name vile reputatum est. The earliest record of a Shakespeare that has yet been traced is in 12 4 8 at Clapton in Gloucestershire, about seven miles from Stratford. The name also occurs during the 13th century in Kent, Essex and Surrey, and during the 14th in Cumberland, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Essex, Warwickshire and as far away as Youghal in Ireland. Thereafter it is found in London and most of the English counties, particularly those of the midlands; and nowhere more freely than in Warwickshire. There were Shakespeares in Warwick and in Coventry, as well as around Stratford; and the clan appears to have been very numerous in a group of villages about twelve miles north of Stratford, which includes Baddesley Clinton, Wroxall, Rowington, Haseley, Hatton, Lapworth, Packwood, Balsall and Knowle. William was in common use as a personal name, and Williams from more than one other family have from time to time been confounded with the dramatist. Many Shakespeares are upon the register of the gild of St Anne at Knowle from about 1457 to about 1526. Amongst these were Isabella Shakespeare, prioress of the Benedictine convent of Wroxall, and Jane Shakespeare, a nun of the same convent. Shakespeares are also found as tenants on the manors belonging to the convent, and at the time of the Dissolution in 1534 one Richard Shakespeare was its bailiff and collector of rents. Conjectural attempts have been made on the one hand to connect the ancestors of this Richard Shakespeare with a family of the same name who held land by military tenure at Baddesley Clinton in the 14th and 15th centuries, and on the other to identify him with the poet's grandfather, Richard Shakespeare of Snitterfield. But Shakespeares are to be traced at Wroxall nearly as far back as at Baddesley Clinton, and there is no reason to suppose that Richard the bailiff, who was certainly still a tenant of Wroxall in 1556, had also since 1529 been farming land ten miles off at Snitterfield.

With the breaking of this link, the hope of giving Shakespeare anything more than a grandfather on the father's side must be laid aside for the present. On the mother's side he was connected with a family of some distinction. Part at least of Richard Shakespeare's land at Snitterfield was held from Robert Arden of Wilmcote in the adjoining parish of Aston Cantlow, a cadet of the Ardens of Parkhall, who counted amongst the leading gentry of Warwickshire. Robert Arden married his second wife, Agnes Hill, formerly Webbe, in 1548, and had then no less than eight daughters by his first wife. To the youngest of these, Mary Arden, he left in 1556 a freehold in Aston Cantlow consisting of a farm of about fifty or sixty acres in extent, known as Asbies. At some date later than November 1556, and probably before the end of 1557, Mary Arden became the wife of John Shakespeare. In October 1556 John Shakespeare had bought two freehold houses, one in Greenhill Street, the other in Henley Street. The latter, known as the wool shop, was the easternmost of the two tenements now combined in the so-called Shakespeare's birthplace. The western tenement, the birthplace proper, was probably already in John Shakespeare's hands, as he seems to have been living in Henley Street in 1552. It has sometimes been thought to have been one of two houses which formed a later purchase in 1575, but there is no evidence that these were in Henley Street at all.

William Shakespeare was not the first child. A Joan was baptized in 1558 and a Margaret in 1562. The latter was buried in 1563 and the former must also have died young, although her burial is not recorded, as a second Joan was baptized in 1569. A Gilbert was baptized in 1566, an Anne in 1571, a Richard in 1 574 and an Edmund in 1580. Anne died in 1579; Edmund, who like his brother became an actor, in 2607; Richard in 1613. Tradition has it that one of Shakespeare's brothers used to visit London in the 17th century as quite an old man. If so, this can only have been Gilbert.

During the years that followed his marriage, John Shakespeare became prominent in Stratford life. In 1565 he was chosen as an alderman, and in 1568 he held the chief municipal office, that of high bailiff. This carried with it the dignity of justice of the peace. John Shakespeare seems to have assumed arms, and thenceforward was always entered in corporation documents as " Mr " Shakespeare, whereby he may be distinguished from another John Shakespeare, a " corviser " or shoemaker, who dwelt in Stratford about 1584-1592. In 1571 as an ex-bailiff he began another year of office as chief alderman.

One may think, therefore, of Shakespeare in his boyhood as the son of one of the leading citizens of a not unimportant. provincial market-town, with a vigorous life of its own, which in spite of the dunghills was probably not much unlike the life of a similar town to-day, and with constant reminders of its past in the shape of the stately buildings formerly belonging to its college and its gild, both of which had been suppressed at the Reformation. Stratford stands on the Avon, in the midst of an agricultural country, throughout which in those days enclosed orchards and meadows alternated with open fields for tillage, and not far from the wilder and wooded district known as the Forest of Arden. The middle ages had left it an heritage in the shape of a free grammar-school, and here it is natural to suppose that William Shakespeare obtained a sound enough education,' with a working knowledge of " Mantuan "2 and Ovid in the original, even though to such a thorough scholar as Ben Jonson it might seem no more than " small Latin and less Greek." In 1577, when Shakespeare was about thirteen, his father's fortunes began to take a turn for the worse. He became irregular in his contributions to town levies, and had to give a mortgage on his wife's property of Asbies as security for a loan from her brother-in-law, Edmund Lambert. Money was raised to pay this off, partly by the sale of a small interest in land at Snitterfield which had come to Mary Shakespeare from her sisters, partly perhaps by that of the Greenhill Street house and other property in Stratford outside Henley Street, none of which seems to have ever come into William Shakespeare's hands. Lambert, however, refused to surrender the mortgage on the plea of older debts, and an attempt to recover Asbies by litigation proved ineffectual. John Shakespeare's difficulties increased. An action for debt was sustained against him in the local court, but no personal property could be found on which to distrain. He had long ceased to attend the meetings of the corporation, and as a consequence he was removed in 1586 from the list of aldermen. In this state of domestic affairs it is not likely that Shakespeare's school life was unduly prolonged. The chances are that he was apprenticed to some local trade. Aubrey says that he killed calves for his father, and " would do it in a high style, and make a speech." Whatever his circumstances, they did not deter him at the early age of eighteen from the adventure of marriage. Rowe. recorded the name of Shakespeare's wife as Hathaway, and Joseph Greene succeeded in tracing her to a family of that name dwelling in Shottery, one of the hamlets of Stratford. Her monument gives her first name as Anne, and her age as sixty-seven in 1623. She must, therefore, have been about eight years older than Shakespeare. Various small trains of evidence point to her identification with the daughter Agnes mentioned in the will of a Richard Hathaway of Shottery, who died in 1581, being then in possession of the farm-house now known as " Anne Hathaway's Cottage." Agnes was legally a distinct name from Anne, but there can be no doubt that ordinary custom treated them as identical. The principal record of the It is worth noting that Walter Roche, who in 1558 became fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, was master of the school in 1570-1572, so that its standard must have been good.

莎士比亚四大悲剧包括《哈姆雷特》、《奥赛罗》、《李尔王》、《麦克白》
《哈姆雷特》又名《王子复仇记》
哈姆雷特是一个人的名字,这个人是一个国家的王子

主要讲的是一个王子为父报仇,杀了他的叔叔的故事。

他的叔叔为了夺取王位,把毒药倒进了国王也就是哈姆雷特的父亲的耳朵里,杀死了国王,娶了皇后也就是他的嫂子,哈姆雷特的母亲,哈姆雷特回国后,收到父亲的托梦, 知道了真相。而此时的假国王也知道哈姆雷特相除掉他而想除掉哈姆雷特,假国王想借用比剑的机会,用有毒剑杀死哈姆雷特,若哈姆雷特没有被毒剑所伤,就以奖励为借口让哈姆雷特喝下放入钻石的美酒,当然钻石上涂有毒药。但是最终,哈姆雷特在比试中获胜,毒酒被他的母亲喝了,他杀死了他的叔叔,同时它也被毒剑刺中,牺牲了!

《哈姆雷特》中有一句很有名,也很有哲理的话:

不要借钱给别人,也不要向别人借钱;借钱给别人会让你人财两失,向别人借钱会让你挥霍无度。
——《哈姆雷特》


哈姆雷特
在《哈姆雷特》这一不朽剧作中,始终存在着善良与邪恶之间一系列激烈的矛盾冲突。哈姆雷特作为该剧的主要角色,他的命运不可避免地处于这激烈矛盾冲突的漩涡之中。
身为王子的哈姆雷特被莎翁塑造为生命之美的典型,他年轻英俊,坚毅勇敢,热爱自己的国家,热爱自己的父王和母后,有着心爱的恋人奥菲利亚,可以说,他的生命正处于人生最美好的时刻。
然而,这美好的生命时光瞬息之间又消失了,他是处于一种什么样的环境之中呢?我们看到,当时的丹麦宫廷一片混乱,老王奇怪地驾崩,王后改嫁新王,国外敌军压境,国内群情激愤、一触即发,而宫中却在通宵达旦地酗酒取乐,这一切,都在哈姆雷特年轻美好的生命中投下了巨大的阴影,从而使他郁郁寡欢,认为人间不过是"一个荒芜不治的花园,长满了恶毒的莠草",这些已经为王子年轻的生命注入了悲剧的因素。
随着老王鬼魂的出现,宫廷内幕的揭开,谋杀罪行的暴露,王子心中烈火的燃起,悲剧的帷幕拉开了……
面对阴险奸诈的新王,哈姆雷特开始了孤身复仇的行动:为了复仇,他失手杀死了恋人的父亲;为了复仇,他佯装疯狂失去了深爱的情人;为了复仇,他对软弱的母亲冷言相向;为了复仇,他忍受着失去友情的痛苦。最后,在一场血淋淋的宫廷决斗中,他虽然杀死了阴险狡诈的新王,但自己的生命也结束在这"牢狱"般的宫廷中。
鲁迅曾经说过:"悲剧就是将人生的有价值的东西毁灭给人看。"哈姆雷特作为一个深受广大群众爱戴的王子,他身上具备整顿局势、治理国家、报仇雪恨的能力。然而面对着以阴险奸诈的新王为代表的强大的封建势力,作为一个资产阶级人文主义者,他始终把这种和人民紧密相连的事业看作个人的仇恨而孤军奋战,因此,他的悲剧既是真善美与邪恶力量相冲突的悲剧,也是一个人文主义者时代的悲剧。
哈姆雷特形象之所以具有强烈的悲剧美,关键在于构成这一切的矛盾冲突,悲剧正是通过对冲突必然性的揭示,通过对有价值东西的毁灭,表达了对真善美的肯定。哈姆雷特以自己的死赢得了对旧制度、旧势力道义上的胜利,悲壮而不悲观,使人们透过悲剧,从主人公的身上感受到一种新的生命,看到了黑暗王国的一线光明。
奥赛罗
《奥赛罗》是英国戏剧家莎士比亚四大悲剧之一。讲述了黑人将军奥赛罗与美丽善良的苔丝狄蒙娜相爱而秘密成婚。旗官伊阿古因所求之职被奥赛罗给了凯西奥而怀恨并决意报复。他设计使凯西奥触犯军纪被撤职,又鼓动苔丝狄蒙娜向奥赛罗求情,致使奥赛罗因怀疑爱妻与凯西奥有染而妒火中烧并亲手将其掐死。当伊阿古的妻子揭穿阴谋时,奥赛罗拔剑自刎,倒在苔丝狄蒙娜的尸体上……
李尔王
《李尔王》也是莎士比亚四大悲剧之一,叙述了年事已高的李尔王意欲把国土分给3个女儿,口蜜腹剑的大女儿高纳里尔和二女儿里根赢其宠信而瓜分国土,小女儿考狄利娅却因不愿阿谀奉承而一无所得。前来求婚的法兰西国王慧眼识人,娶考狄利娅为皇后。李尔王离位,大女儿和二女儿居然不给其栖身之地,当年的国王只好到荒郊野外……考狄利娅率队攻入,父女团圆。但战事不利,考狄利娅被杀死,李尔王守着心爱的小女儿的尸体悲痛地死去。
麦克白
麦克白本是苏格兰的一名贵族。他勇敢善战,深得人民的尊敬。在一次征战途中,他遇到三个女巫,预言他要当上国王。他颇为心动。他的夫人是一个心如蛇蝎的女人。她一心想坐上王后的宝座。本来还很善良的麦克白在她怂恿下,终于利令智昏。他在国王访问他家时下手弑君。这之后他登上了王位。虽然他想掩盖真相,但终于走漏了风声。两位王子逃往国外。麦克白开始着手铲除异己,苏格兰国内陷入了屠杀。在血腥中,麦克白和夫人遭受着自己良心的谴责。他们过着担惊受怕的日子。终于,两位王子率军从国外打了回来。麦克白众叛亲离,在绝望中自杀。

Year 1564-Year 1616 The great English playwright, poet William Shakespeare was born in England in 1564 Stratford town. Although he received a good basic education, but not in a university. Shakespeare at the age of 18 with a 26-year-old woman married, he was under 21, have three children.

Years later he came to London and became a performer and playwright. He turns, renowned composers, has become four years after the eminent British theater. In the ensuing decade he wrote "Confucian slightly Julius Caesar", "Othello", "Maikebai" and "King Lear" this masterpiece. Shakespeare lived in London for more than 20 years, and during this period his wife still stayed bases. He goes on to describe the return of human remains, in Stratford. 1616 Shakespeare in his 52 birthday and untimely death. His descendants have been cut cases equally.

Shakespeare to the world of theatre left 37, including some he co-wrote with others of the general peoples playwriting. In addition, he wrote the first sonnet 154 and three or four heads of poetry.

On Shakespeare's genius, achievements and reputation, his name has not appeared in the list of top somewhat bizarre. I put Shakespeare platoon so low, not because I do not appreciate his artistic achievements, but I think the literary figures generally smaller influence on human history. Religious leaders, scientists, politicians, explorers, philosophers or inventors activities often affect many other areas of human endeavor. For example, scientific progress on economic and political issues have had a tremendous impact and influence of religious, philosophical views and the development of the arts. A famous artist, while the artist's works may later influence, but his music and literature may have minimal impact on the expedition and other areas of human endeavor is in fact no impact at all. Similar statements are also suited for the poet, playwright and music composer. Generally, only arts and influential figures in fact only that they are engaged in the field of special influence. It is for this reason that not a single literary, musical or artistic figure classified into 10 first three quarters, and only a few figures were included in the list.

In all of Shakespeare's leading literary figures, this seems simple : no. Relatively speaking, very few people talk about today Qiaosou, Virgil, and even Hema works, but staged a Shakespeare drama, certainly many viewers. Shakespeare's genius is the creation of terminology unparalleled, and his words are often quoted -- even he has never seen or read the drama. Besides his reputation is not short. He works for nearly 400 years has been to bring many happy readers and commentators. As Shakespeare's works have been accepted in the test of time, so in future too century will be universally welcomed, this speculation seems reasonable.

Shakespeare's works have been translated into many types of literature, many countries have read his books, he staged the drama.
