WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616)




William Shakespeare is regarded as the Father of English Literature.

He wrote 37  theatre plays. He is a classic because all the themes of his plays were considered universally human, very human, all too human. He captured in each of his writings, so brilliantly, the meanderings of the human mind and soul.

Coincidentally, he died on the same day and year as the Father of Spanish literature, Don Miguel de Cervantes.

“Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.

    Men were deceivers ever,

One foot in sea, and one on shore,

    To one thing constant never.

Then sigh not so, but let them go,

    And be you blithe and bonny,

Converting all your sounds of woe

    Into hey nonny, nonny.”

(Much Ado about nothing)
