Shakespearean tragedy is the designation given to most tragedies written by playwright William Shakespeare. Many of his history plays share the qualifiers of a Shakespearean tragedy, but because they are based on real figures throughout the history of England, they were classified as "histories" in the First Folio. The Roman tragedies—Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus—are also based on historical figures, but because their sources were foreign and ancient, they are almost always classified as tragedies rather than histories.

William Shakespeare
5. William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and
actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English
language and world’s pre-eminent dramatist. He is often
called England's nationalist port and the ‘Bard of Avon’.
6. John Shakespeare's house, believed to be Shakespeare's birthplace, now
belonging to the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
His parents were John Shakespeare a successful glover originally
from Snitterfield in Warwickshire, and Mary Arden, the youngest daughter
of John's father's landlord, a member of the local gentry. The couple married
around 1557 and lived on Henley Street when Shakespeare was born,
purportedly in a house now known as Shakespeare's Birthplace.

Mother: Mary Arden Shakespeare (?-1608)
Sister: Joan Shakespeare (1558)
Sister: Margaret Shakespeare (1562-1563)
Brother: Gilbert Shakespeare (1556-1612)
Sister: Joan Shakespeare Hart (1569-1646)

8. Marriage
On 28 November 1582 at Temple Grafton near Stratford, the 18-year-
old Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, who was 26.. The
ceremony may have been arranged in some haste; their first
daughter, Susanna, was born on 26 May 1583, six months later.
Their twin children, the son, Hamnet, and the daughter, Judith, were
baptised on 2 February 1585. Hamnet died in 1596, Susanna in 1649
and Judith in 1662.
9. Education
Most Shakespeare biographers qualify his reputed attendance
at The Guild School in Stratford with phrases such as "almost
certainly" because all attendance records for the time have been
lost, but Shakespeare's works exhibit detailed knowledge of the
grammar school curriculum and none of the university life that is
evident in university-educated playwrights such
as Marlowe. Edward VI,
10. the king honoured in the school's name, had in the mid-16th century diverted
money from the dissolution of the monasteries to endow a network of
grammar schools to "propagate good literature throughout the kingdom", but
the school had originally been set up by the Guild of the Holy Cross, a church
institution in the town, early in the 15th century. It was further endowed in
1482. It was free to male children in Stratford and it is presumed that the
young Shakespeare attended. Grammar schools varied in quality during
the Elizabethan era,
11. but the grammar curriculum was standardised by royal decree
throughout England, and the school would have provided an
intensive education in Latin grammar and literature—"as good a
formal literary training as had any of his contemporaries". As a part
of this education, the students were exposed to Latin plays that
students performed to better understand the language. One of
Shakespeare's earliest plays, The Comedy of Errors, bears similarity
to Plautus's Menaechmi, which could well have been performed at
the school. There is no evidence that he received a university
education.
12. Work
Shakespeare wrote at least 38 plays and over 150 short and
long poems, many of which are considered to be the finest
ever written in English. His works have been translated into
every major living language, and some others besides (the
Folger's holdings include translations in Esperanto and
Klingon), and nearly 400 years after his death, they continue
to be performed around the world.

18. Last years and death
In the last few weeks of Shakespeare's life, the man who was to
marry his younger daughter Judith—a tavern-keeper named Thomas
Quiney was charged in the local church court with "fornication". A
woman named Margaret Wheeler had given birth to a child and
claimed it was Quiney's; she and the child both died soon after.
Quiney was thereafter disgraced, and Shakespeare revised his will to
ensure that Judith's interest in his estate was protected from possible
malfeasance on Quiney's part.
19. Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616, at the reputed age of 52. He
died within a month of signing his will, a document which he
begins by describing himself as being in "perfect health". No extant
contemporary source explains how or why he died. After half a
century had passed, John Ward, the vicar of Stratford, wrote in his
notebook: "Shakespeare, Drayton and Ben Jonson had a merry
meeting and, it seems, drank too hard, for Shakespeare died of a
fever there contracted."
20. Shakespeare is buried in the chancel of Holy Trinity
Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. He was granted the honour of
burial in the chancel not on account of his fame as a playwright but
for purchasing a share of the tithe of the church for £440 (a
considerable sum of money at the time. He is believed to have
written the epitaph on his tombstone.
