William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare, born April 23, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, is the quintessential playwright whose influence on the English language and literature is unrivaled. Best known for his extraordinary corpus of plays and sonnets, including Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare has become synonymous with literary genius. His famous line, "All the world’s a stage," aptly summarizes his knack for capturing the human condition in all its complexity. While his works have earned him a legacy of unparalleled acclaim and countless adaptations, he was not without his share of critics and controversies in his own time. Shakespeare's enduring impact on drama and language remains a testament to his skill in both capturing and shaping the essence of human experience.
