it home learning lesson 2

William Shakespeare is a 16th century poet and english playwright. Born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. He is often referred as England's national poet. Among all his works only 2 long narrative poems, a few other poems survived and 154 sonnets . Though he is one of England best poet at the initial stages of his career he was not very popular and was also condemned by some critics. I chose to talk about him because i feel that he is one of the world's greatest writer whether plays or poems. He defied the trend of writing classic plays in his time, instead he wrote revolutionary romantic, tragic plays and comedies. Though his surviving long narrative poems are based on erotic themes his other sonnets are not all based on erotic themes. I think his poems are quite literally in depth. His thinking is revolutionary and he dares to think out of the box he believes that people will gradually understand and like his poems
