Who is the greatest English writer?His
popular expressions, like "to be or not to be, that is a question",
and his stories such as Romeo and Juliet are almost famous in every corner of
the world.
William Shakespeare was born in a small town in England in 1564.By 1594, he had become an important
playwright (剧作家) in London.
Whether comedies or tragedies, Shakespeare's plays always catch people's
hearts.In
A Midsummer Night's Dream, fairies (仙女) play magical tricks on people lost in
the woods. His tragedies, however, can be very dark. Macbeth tells the story
about a man who becomes king by killing a lot of people.
Shakespeare's works also have a big influence on the English language.Of course, Shakespeare wrote his plays
400 years ago and his English was very different from that of today.His plays have been translated into
other languages and are performed more often. There are over 400 films and TV
plays adapted from his works. Shakespeare is not of an age, but for all the
time.
