Act V Hamlet

Having written around thirty-eight plays, William Shakespeare is considered to be the best and most recognized western playwright within the past 500 years. Consequently though, most information about Shakespeare is still unknown since he had lived more more than 400 years ago in the 16th and 17th centuries. The little bit of information that we do know includes basic knowledge such as his date of birth, his family, and the locations where he spent most of his time.
