Shakespeare's Children

An Iambic pentameter is the name given to a line of verse that consists of five iambs (an iamb being one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed, such as "before"). It has been a fundamental building block of poetry in English, used in many poems by many poets from the English Renaissance to the present day. {The Poetry Archive}

Shakespeare's Wife's Name

Shakespeare's wife's name was commonly known as Anne Hatheway. But in their first records she was known as Anne Whateley, they are the same person. {Mabillard, Amanda}

First Child - Sussana

Shakespeare's Mother's Maiden Name

Location of Shakespeare's birth-town, country street

First Folio

Shakespeare's Mother's maiden name was Arden. She was the daughter of the wealthy Robert Arden of Wilmecote. He owned a sixty- acre farm called Asbies {Mabillard, Amanda}

Shakespeare was born in his family home. This was located on Henley Street, Stratford- Upon- Avon, England in Warwickshire County. The town was called Statford-Upon- Avon, because it was located upon the Avon river. {Alchin, L.K. William}

a. As the three Sisters of Fate, Lahkesis, Atropos, and Clotho, determined the fates of every mortal, God, andTitan. Clotho weaved the Threads of Fate, beginning all lives. Lahkesis embellished the threads, which decided the events that would occur in every being's life. Finally, Atropos cut the threads, ending a life. The Fates held power over even divine entities, such as Zeus or Gaia. Contrary to the games, mythology said that the powers of the Fates was absolute, even for Zeus. Though there are several references made to the possibility of Zeus changing Fate, he does not. In some tales and mythology, the Sisters of Fate are called the Moirae.

Location of Shakespeare's Grave

HallsCroft is traditionally associated with William Shakespeare's daughter Susanna. Sussana married a physician John Hall in 1607 and purchased this home. At the time it was known as the second best house in Stratford- Upon- Avon. Today, one can take tours of Halls Croft, and see artwork and items preserved from the 17th and 18th century. {Simpson, Catherine}

Also known as Nash's Place was named after Thomas Nash, who was the first husband of Shakespeare's granddaughter, Elizabeth. Just like Hall's Croft, it is to this day well perserved. {Nash's House & New Place." }

Terra tegit, populus moeret, Olympus habet.

Stay, passenger, why goest thou by so fast?

Read, if thou canst, whom envious death hath placed

b.Within this monument: Shakespeare, with whom

Quick nature doed; whose name doth deck his tomb

Far more than cost; sith all that he had writ

Leaves living art but page to serve his wit.

Shakespeare was considered a renaissance man, because he was born during the time of the renaissance which spanned from 1500 to 1688 and was one first to bring the renaissance's core values together. Shakespeare brought back a lot of the Greek and Roman Classic themes, this made him a true renaissance man because the renaissance was a rebirth of these times. { Jamieson, Lee}

Shakespeare lived during the Elizabethan Era. This was a time of relative political stability where Queen Elizabeth I reigned from 1558-1603 and King James from 1603-1625. Having Queen Elizabeth l was essential to the success of shakespeare was essential, because she was a major supporter of the theaters in England. It is thought that Shakespeare's Macbeth was actually related to King James, because Macbeth was a Scottish King like King James, and Macbeth was one of Shakespeares shorter plays and supposedly King James has said that he does not like to sit long to watch plays.

Number of Sonnets in Shakespeare's Sonnet Sequence

Poetic Structure of a Shakespearean Sonnet

154

{Poets.org.

Shakespeare follows a three quatrains and a couplet rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg. The couplet plays a pivotal role, usually arriving in the form of a conclusion, amplification, or even refutation of the previous three stanzas, often creating an epiphanic quality to the end. Shakespeare has 14 lines in his sonnets.
