1. 2.Aim 3. Jaret McNeil 4. The Aim of William Shakespeare’s Writings were to get England to reflect on their past. He wanted to show many of his feelings in his poetry. Throughout his play, he told stories that have happened to him to help get things out of his mind. It stated in text that, “ Shakespeare wrote poetry to express his deep feelings and circumstances. He told stories through his poetry and plays” (Why did Shakespeare write poetry). Shakespeare wrote much of his plays also for King James. Macbeth was one of his plays written some believe for King James. Most people believed in the ancient time that such an amateur actor could write such good stories, poems and plays. They believed he could not also perform his plays, due to such amateur career. He wrote most of his plays through his thoughts and feelings. 5. “Shakespeares Works” Shakespeare Resource Center.

1. 2. William Shakespeare: Cultural 3. Kaitlyn Ivey 4. William Shakespeare is timeless; no matter the play or sonnet it can be related to today. As stated in text, “The enduring themes of Henry the Fifth and Julius Caesar” (The Habits of Great Writers. Shakespeare: Timely to Timeless). It is not only Henry the Fifth and Julius Caesar, but all of his plays and sonnets. The pain of losing his son, the religious revolution and the pure joys of life can all be seen in his work. People all around, from all different cultures can relate to these experiences. The themes might be glorified, but they hold true; each person in their life faces, betrayal, love, heartbreak and sacrifice. Shakespeare has the unique ability to be timeless in all aspects of his work. People today and people three hundred years ago can learn life lessons and see their own experiences in his work. 5. “The Habits of Great Writers. Shakespeare: Timely to Timeless”.

1. 2. William Shakespeare: Audience 3. Henry Tran 4. William Shakespeare’s audience for his plays was people who could pay to go and watch them. He explained how if a person has a penny, they can watch his play. If they wanted a better seat than they would have to pay another penny. For his poetry, the people who he targeted was mostly his son and the Queen of England. He targeted them because while he was touring Europe performing his plays, his son died and he had a lot of grief. He targeted the Queen because in the early 1600s, the people of England became fed up with the Queen’s actions so William started to direct his plays to portray the Queen as a bad person. It made the Queen mad and he had to perform in front of her. In summary, most of his audience was the people of England and too the 1600s, he targeted the Queen. 5. Mabillard, Amanda.

During William’s life he accomplished many great successes throughout. In an article it says “Shakespeare wrote plays that capture the complete range of human and emotion” (Bio.TrueStory). Many of the odd and saddening events that occurred in Shakespeare’s life, led him to write plays and poems later on. For example, when his son died he was deeply depressed and wrote about it as not only a method to cope with, but to enhance his career. Through many hardships that he had to encounter he was able to include these events into his writing. Also, he connected many real world situations that had been happening at the same time and made those into very well-known plays today. During his career, Shakespeare was able be well liked among the people of England as many were able to relate to his plays. Overall, Shakespeare lived an accomplished life of many marvelous works that many people around the world enjoy on a daily basis. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">5. “William Shakespeare”.
