WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE 1564-1616

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE 1564-1616

Great English playwright and poet William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon, England. He seems to get a decent basic education but not to trample college. Shakespeare married at the age of eighteen (wife age twenty-six), lambing three before reaching age twenty-one.
Several years later, he went to London, becomes the child stage and playwright. When the age of thirty Shakespeare already showing success. And when old turned thirty-four, he has become the rich and is considered the leading British playwright. Ten years later, he was led to major works such as Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and King Lear.
Within a period of twenty years that have special meaning it Shakespeare lived in London, his wife remained in Stratford. Shakespeare died in 1616 at about 52nd birthday. She had no living offspring.
There are 38 well-known drama of Shakespeare's creation includes some minor drama that may be tilled with people. In addition, he wrote some 154 sonatas and 3 or 4 verses long.
Judging from the genius of Shakespeare, the results and the fame that was already granted, what a strange impression may arise because the names are not placed in sequence over the top in this book list. I put Shakespeare is so low not because I do not appreciate the power of the arts, but simply because I believe that in general the figures of literary or artist does not have a major influence in history.
Activities of religious leaders, scientists, politicians, investigators, philosophers, the pecipta more often affect the various fields of human life. For example, the progress of science has a major influence on the political and economic livelihoods, and was also influenced by religious beliefs, the nature of philosophical and artistic development.
However, a famous painter, although he had a major influence on other painters, not have any influence on the development of music and literature, it is said also to science, or field of inquiry. The same also applies to fields of poetry, drama and music. As a result, in general you could say, the influence of artists that just touches the fields of art, even limited to certain parts of the art. Therefore, there is no figure of literary, music or other art that is placed on the order No. 30, even very few that appear in this book.
If so, why still there are also artists that includes a list? The answer is, the pleasure of art is a direct part (though not always the main part) in the lives of individuals. In other words, someone can provide some of his time listening to music, some read books, some looking at paintings and so forth. Even if we spend time listening to music had no influence on our other activities (this is certainly something exaggerated) after all this time remains an important thing in our lives.
Of course personal an artist could have had an influence on our lives more than we spend time listening to music, read a book or enjoy their work. This is because his work has influenced so much good work of other artists whose results we enjoy.
In some ways, more or less artistic work has a philosophical meaning that can affect our attitude in the field of other problems. This of course happens more often in matters relating to the literature rather than as music or painting. For example, in Romeo and Juliet (Act III, Scene 1) Shakespeare wrote greeting the prince "Mercy but murders, pardoning those That kill," clearly presents an idea (off people accept it or not) who has a philosophical meaning and have more political influence than , say, looking at the painting "Mona Lisa."
Shakespeare seems no doubt surpass all literary figures. Relatively, very few people now read the works of Chaucer, Virgil or Homer, except if their work was finished reading the provisions of the school. However, staging a Shakespeare can surely welcome. Excess Shakespeare in terms perangkuman verses really do not tertandingkan and the sentences are often cited, even by people who never even see the stuff or read his plays. Moreover, the real true how fame is not just a passing traffic. His work presents happiness to the readers and audiences for almost four centuries. Because these works have proven steady era, is worthy of thought that Shakespeare's fame will continue for centuries to come.
In the event that determines the significance of Shakespeare one must take into account if he had never lived in the world, his plays would never have written about at all. Of course, to some extent, a similar statement can be given to each artist or literary figure. However, these factors did not appear to have a special significance in the assessment of the weight of influence on artists of small size.
Although Shakespeare wrote in English, he's really well-known figure seseluruh world. If instead a very universal language, English is the most close to that size than other languages ​​that ever existed. Besides, Shakespeare has been translated widely and his works be read and staged in various countries.
There are of course some famous writers whose work has been criticized by art critics. It is not the case in Shakespeare whose work is appreciated without reserve by literary experts. Generations of playwrights studying his work and tried to emulate as well or outmaneuvered. The combination of a very large influence on the authors and fame are not decided in the society that puts Shakespeare in the sequence is quite high on the list this book.
