作者簡介

William Shakespeare

Born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare left school young but became the greatest writer in English. By the 1590s, he was London's most successful playwright, writing for both Queen Elizabeth I and common groundlings who paid a penny to stand in the Globe Theatre's yard. Shakespeare’s writings are famous for their poetic language, clever wordplay, and deep insights into human nature. He wrote about love and jealousy, ambition and betrayal, comedy and tragedy—often blending these elements in a single play. His characters are complex and memorable, each revealing truths about human emotions that still resonate today. More than four centuries later, his plays are still performed, studied, and loved around the world.
