There is nothing new to say about William Shakespeare. So much has been written about him over the last four hundred years that now it’s an old story. Yet when it comes to drama, the one whose name is first mentioned is Shakespeare. William Shakespeare was born on 23 April 1564 in England. In just half a century of his life, he wrote 38 plays, 154 sonnets and two long anecdotes. Although originally a playwright, he is known as the Bard of Avon.
The reason for his reputation as a poet rather than a playwright is that he is a poetic playwright. He also made a name for himself as an actor in his lifetime.
Shakespeare's plays have been translated into all major languages of the world. He is not unfamiliar to Bengali speakers either.
Originally most of his plays were written in historical contexts, but due to his incomparable artistic and immortal poetic language, each play has become radiant in its own glory. There is no shortage of research on why Shakespeare became involved in tragedy and comedy. Researchers have found that Shakespeare's play reflects the turmoil, frustration, and loss of relatives in his life. Shakespeare's conjugal life begins with the marriage of a woman of unequal age, in whose womb her child conceived before marriage. When Shakespeare was 18, he married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway. After 6 months of marriage, a daughter was born in their house.
Then, in 1585, Anne Hathaway gave birth to a son named Hamlet. When Shakespeare's son passed away at the age of eleven, he was overwhelmed with grief.
From 1585 to 1592 were Shakespeare's years of loss, but even in these years, his work did not stop. He also gained fame as an actor along with a playwright during this time.
Although much has been written about Shakespeare in the last four hundred years, his personal life has not been much discussed. Although he is a devout Catholic, his life and relationships with his parents and family are insignificant. And even some maintain that the plays that have been published in Shakespeare's name are not all written by him.
But no matter how much Shakespeare is criticized and no matter how much controversy is created about his plays, he is still as alive as he was in the Elizabethan era. This is because of Shakespeare's ability to implement outstanding observational powers in his literary work. Whose plays and poems seem to have been contained within himself. As he was an actor, playwright and businessman at the same time, the combination of these characters can be seen in his literary work. He has not only become a time-winning personality by combining different characters but he has also created time-winning literary works.
