One of the most famous Authors of all time was William Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote many famous plays such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream", " All's Well that Ends Well", "Hamlet", "Macbeth", "Romeo and Juliet", and "The Winter's Tale". Eventhough, I have not stated all the plays he had written the plays that I have mentioned should be enough to show how important he is to the present literature world today. Growing up Shakespeare did not have things such as the internet or tv we have today. He was at a disadvantage on writing plays due to this and if the theature was not closed down due to illnesses he was only earning few shillings for his acts. Born in 1564, William Shakespeare had to compete with the plague and other illnesses while trying to write or perform in England. Known for writing more than thirty plays he was also credited for inventing thousands of words for these plays. Much of these words are still used in todays society and are still popular. Therefore, still having an affect on todays society from hundreds of years ago he must be one of the greatest of all time and a great man during his time. If not for William Shakespear or literature wouldnt be the same as it is today.

A Midsummer Night's Dream has become my favorite after doing my Shakespeare's assignment on this play.
