  7. 威廉·莎士比亚（William Shakespeare）1564年4月生于英格兰特拉福德镇(Stratford-Upon-Avon)，父亲叫约翰·莎士比亚;（John Shakespeare），是个手套商人。莎士比亚的父亲在他出生时非常富有，但是后来被控卷入黑市羊毛交易，而家道中落，并失去了市议员的位置。

  8. 他最后还成为一家剧团的合伙人——张伯伦勋爵剧团（The Lord Chamberlain‘s Men）,是以资助它的贵族的名字命名的。该剧团十分受到欢迎，以至于当伊丽莎白一世去世后，詹姆士一世赞助了它，剧团更名为国王剧团。他得以在伦敦的富人区买了一栋房子，还在家乡特拉福德镇拥有一座最大的住宅。

  9. 1596年，莎士比亚唯一的儿子Hamnet死亡，于1596年8月11日安葬。很多人相信莎士比亚的名剧《哈姆雷特》（Hamlet）就是为了纪念他的儿子的. 1597年，莎士比亚把他在特拉福德镇的“一栋家宅、两间畜舍、两个花园、两个果园，和其他所有东西”以60英镑的价格售出，到伦敦，成了一名著名的演员和作家。

  10. 1609年莎士比亚发表了他的十四行诗，其中很多是写给一个神秘的女人（“Dark Lady”）和一个男人（“Fair Lord”）的。他大约在1611年退休，从此之后就再也没有发表其他作品了，直到1616年去世。巧合的是，他与同时代的另一个西班牙大文豪塞万提斯死在同一天。中国著名剧作家汤显祖也于同一年去世。
