Question

Write 20 sentences about Ruskin Bond or Willams Shakespeare

Answer 1

William Shakespeare has been admired in every age and in every country for the beauty and excellence of his literary creations. It is not only English literature but also world literature that is incomplete without Shakespeare. In his dramatic career that lasted for 24 years, Shakespeare wrote more than thirty plays which include some of the world’s most well-known dramatic tragedies and comedies. Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies are: Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and king Lear. And Shakespeare’s best known comedies are Much Ado about Nothing, As You Like It Twelfth Night, Mid summer’s Night Dream, The Taming of the Shrew and The Merchant of Venice. However, Hamlet is considered his greatest work. It is worth noting here that while heros and heroines of Shakespearean comedies are mostly romantic youths, his tragedies mainly centre round middle aged persons.

William Shakespeare was born on 23rd April 1564, at Stratford-upon-Avon. At 18, he started making an independent living and married Anne Hathaway who was eight years older than him. Besides his business, he also acted in a London theatre. His first written piece of work was a long poem Venus and Adonis published in 1593. This poem became very popular. In 1611, he bade farewell to the stage and returned to Stratford where he died in April 1616.

So few facts are known about Shakespeare’s life that many doubt whether he was the real author of the works attributed to him. Some names which have been put forward as the probable real author(s) of his works are: the Earl of Oxford, Beaumont, Fletcher and Christopher Marlowe. Whatever be the substance of truth in these conjectures, it is an incontrovertible fact that a person called Shakespeare lived, who was admired for his works and liked for his qualities.
