Moonbeam biography of william shakespeare

“To be or not to be,” said Hamlet, prince of Denmark, “that is the question.” Yesterday, Hamlet’s creator was; today, he is not. Of that there is no question.
Poet, playwright, actor and theatrical-company shareholder, William Shakespeare (sometimes spelled Shakspeare, or Shagspere, or Shaxpere, or Shaxberd,1 or any number of blessed ways) died today, April 23, 1616, at his home in Stratford-upon-Avon. He was, more or less, 52. His passing was confirmed by his daughter Judith.2
Over the course of three decades, Mr. Shakespeare rose from working-class obscurity in Warwickshire to become one of England’s foremost playwrights and poets3 — acclaimed for his penetrating insights into the human character, his eloquent, flexible and infinitely expressive verse; and his readiness to burst the bounds of the English language (drawing on a vocabulary of more than 25,000 words).
Thanes, Romans, Countrymen
Among the deeply flawed characters who have strutted and fretted their hour on Mr. Shakespeare’s stage, perhaps the foremost is Hamlet, who must decide whether or not to kill the uncle who murdered his father and married his mother. It takes him as much as five hours to decide, depending on the performance, and by then, a good portion of Denmark is dead.

WILL: Do you want my autograph?
KID: What?
WILL: My autograph. I'm the guy that came up with this.
KID: The Lion King? You didn't make that.
WILL: People tell me all the time "You're the greatest writer in the English language." And I'm like: "Yeah. I am."
WILL: Nah, but it's based on Hamlet. You know where that guy talks to a skull. That was me!
I was born in England in 1564. But no-one knows exactly when, so birthdays were difficult. "No cake for Will this year". That happened every year.
My dad was a glove maker. One thing we always had growing up were gloves. I had a family and then, for a few years, as far as people knew, I just disappeared.
INTERVIEWER: What were you doing?
WILL: Nothing much. Anyway, eventually I moved to London and started acting. And then I started writing. In the next twenty five years, I wrote thirty seven plays, like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, and loads of poetry.
WILL: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
