No Fear Shakespeare: Hamlet: Act 1, Scene 2
Young Fortinbras, underestimating my strength or imagining that the death of the king has thrown my country into turmoil, dreams of getting the better of me, and never stops pestering me with demands that I surrender the territory his father lost to the elder Hamlet, my dead brother-in-law
Enjoying "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare
Elizabethans talked of God's "general providence" (the goodness and intelligence that created and sustains the world) and God's "special providence" (God guiding events subtly to make things work out for the right.) You will need to decide for yourself whether "special providence" is at work in our own world, or whether Shakespeare actually believed so.

MONTAGUE But I can give thee more: For I will raise her statue in pure gold; That while Verona by that name is known, There shall no figure at such rate be set As that of true and faithful Juliet. LADY CAPULET What say you? can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at our feast; Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face, And find delight writ there with beauty's pen; Examine every married lineament, And see how one another lends content And what obscured in this fair volume lies Find written in the margent of his eyes

William Shakespeare - poetry, poems
And people nowadays preferring writer's biographies to writers' writing, which leaves them with a problem with the man from Stratford because he's pretty much a hole in the air. He went 'Daaad, Daaad, are there streets in Italy?' and his Dad went 'I should imagine so, young Bill, the Eyeties have feet like everyone else, I reckon, and where there are feets there are streets.' It's folk wisdom, innit? Q: What about the nuts who think Shakespeare was Italian? A: Grow up

Do you think until Iago needles him around, Othello is obsessed with Desdemona's sexual nature? Or do you think he sees her more of a good time companio... Regardless, there have been some unfortunate projections and interpretations of modern concepts onto centuries old works that, while a grasp of contextual historical information can certainly lend to their depth and meaning, can also be enjoyed as valuable poetical works that have transcended time and been surpassed by no other

(It was illegal in Shakespeare's England but would soon re-emerge in the colonies.) The most famous speech ("The quality of mercy...") anticipates what I've found to be Shakespeare's greatest theme, i.e., in a godless universe, our only hope is to be kind to one another.

While Shakespeare might not be accounted wealthy by London standards, his success allowed him to purchase New House and retire in comfort to Stratford in 1611. By 1594, he was not only acting and writing for the Lord Chamberlain's Men (called the King's Men after the ascension of James I in 1603), but was a managing partner in the operation as well
