? The real Shakespeare: infatuated with aristocratic life and falling in love with a man
It is an unsolved mystery in the west. This great playwright has an unshakable supreme position in western culture, and his influence is everywhere. But he didn't leave any letters, diaries or manuscripts when he was alive, and his contemporaries didn't record him. People will never know his true identity, and even whether the name ""is a real name or a pseudonym cannot be verified. & gt Just as A Dream of Red Mansions is in China, learning is also an unsolved mystery in the West. This great playwright has an unshakable supreme position in western culture, and his influence is everywhere. But he didn't leave any letters, diaries or manuscripts when he was alive, and his contemporaries didn't record him. People never know his true identity, and even whether the name "Shakespeare" is a real name or a pseudonym cannot be verified. & gt However, Stephen Grimblantt, a leading figure in western academic circles, has "deduced" a new Shakespeare from the clues of Shakespeare's works, restored his earthly life and caused a sensation-> He comes from a remote town, has no college education and prominent family background, but he has become the greatest playwright that people will always remember in a very short time, and is also the most outstanding representative of western culture. & gt His name is William, and Will is his nickname, which also means desire. Desire, determination, will ... maybe this is the motivation and source for him to become "Shakespeare". & gt Obsessed with aristocratic life since childhood > Centuries ago, a priest wrote in the register of Stratford parish in central England with a quill pen: "The son of Jone Shakespeare was baptized on April 26th, 1564". The child was later named "william shakespeare". & gt When I was a child, Will's family was relatively rich. His father, John, is a fur dealer and engaged in wool business. He used to be the mayor and a local public figure. But his signature will only be marked for life, and so will his wife Mary. Therefore, they placed great expectations on their eldest son, Will. At the age of seven, they sent him to the "King's New School" in the town to learn Latin. At that time, Latin was a symbol of culture and upbringing, and it was also a "stepping stone" to enter the upper class. At school, the teacher asked the students to perform plays in Latin, so Will had the opportunity to learn acting at an early age. & gt Troupe often goes to the town to perform many traditional plays, especially the moral plays that persuade people, with the theme of "many lines of injustice will kill you". Actors sometimes play abstract images of "human", "youth" or "evil deeds", which are used for reference in Shakespeare's plays in the future. For example, "rumor" in Henry IV wears a robe with a tongue painted on it, and "time" in Winter's Story holds an hourglass. In many of his plays, the evil side is always punished and culpable of punishment. & gt On traditional festivals, people can make a lot of noise, and men, women and children run to the Woods to play all night. These folk customs, which are deeply rooted in the middle of England, combine nobility and rudeness perfectly and have a far-reaching influence on Shakespeare's imagination. These traces have been left in many of his plays. For example, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, lovers meet in the Woods of Athens. & gt There are two things that may have a great influence on young Will. When Queen Elizabeth I was 1 1, she visited central England surrounded by a large number of followers. The grand scene and exciting mood of the king's arrival made him obsessed with the king's personality charm all his life, so that he spent most of his writing imagining the lives of kings, nobles and gentlemen and indulging in the sweet expectation of privileges. & gt When he was almost 13 years old, his family began to go downhill. The dream of revival troubled Shakespeare all his life. In his plays, he repeatedly showed a strong desire to find his lost property, title and identity. However, Shakespeare was not depressed because he could not go to Oxford or Cambridge. On the contrary, family changes made him gain the ability to survive earlier. I helped my father take care of his own business since I was a child, such as making gloves and buying wool, which made the images of gloves, leather and wool appear frequently in his plays. Romeo longed to be the glove that Juliet wore-this strong expression of love left a deep impression on the audience. > Shakespeare is an unsolved mystery in the west.

Later, I was employed by the troupe, doing odd jobs, playing supporting roles, writing lyrics and doing everything. He quickly seized the opportunity. London at that time was a "fair that lasted for many years". In order to survive in the brutal commercial performances, the troupe had to attract more people to the theater and constantly put on new plays. Shakespeare's creative talent has just begun to play a role. & gt The most popular playwright in Britain at that time was christopher marlowe, whose play timur shocked Britain. Shakespeare was greatly encouraged when he learned that Marlowe was born in a small town and that his father was not a rich gentleman, but an ordinary craftsman. Obviously because of Marlowe, he made an extremely important decision in his life: not only to make a living as an actor, but also to try to write plays. He is determined to write an epic like Marlowe's, and it is an English epic. & gt Shakespeare's Henry VI was staged in London, and audiences flocked to it. The performance was a great success. Since then, he has become a rare playwright who lives by writing plays. It is said that his creation is extremely relaxed and accomplished in one go, and no matter what he writes, he doesn't need to delete a line. Shakespeare's income became richer and richer, and he became a shareholder in the theater. 1599, London built the most luxurious theater-Globe Theatre, and Shakespeare was one of the few investors, owning the equity of the theater with110. He also bought some industries in his hometown, successfully applied for the squire's coat of arms for his father, and fulfilled his dream of family rejuvenation. > fall in love with a man > Shakespeare's career in London was in full swing, while his wife and children stayed in Stratford. 18 years old, married Anne Hathaway at the age of 26, and her daughter Susanna was born six months later. It is said that he regrets this very much, so he repeatedly told the audience in his own play that it is very important to remain chaste before marriage. In Twelfth Night, Duke Ossino also suggested: "A woman should choose a man older than her, so that she can get along with him and not lose her husband's favor. & gt But under the social conditions at that time, no matter what kind of marriage relationship, it must be maintained for a lifetime. Therefore, Shakespeare chose to separate. His imagination and experience of love are outside marriage. > Shakespeare is an unsolved mystery in the west.

But he didn't leave any letters, diaries or manuscripts when he was alive, and his contemporaries didn't record him. People never know his true identity, and even whether the name "Shakespeare" is a real name or a pseudonym cannot be verified. & gt In Shakespeare's works, desire can be seen everywhere. He created two greatest lovers-Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra. The former is an infatuated boy and girl, and the latter is a noble middle-aged adulterer who expresses his love dream. & gt In addition, the complexity and enthusiasm of Shakespeare's love poems are unprecedented. That series of sonnets is about the complicated relationship between him and a handsome young man and a dark-skinned woman. That young man is the Earl of Southampton, and Shakespeare's two long poems Venus and adonis (1593) and the shame of Lucius (1594) are dedicated to him. The "young and absurd" earl spends his time in the theater every day. He hates marriage. He was fined 5,000 pounds for refusing to marry the granddaughter of the Queen's Chancellor of the Exchequer, which made the family panic, so he asked Shakespeare to write a poem to persuade him. > In the poem, Shakespeare did not exhort the narcissistic earl. On the contrary, he said, you are not narcissistic enough. Look at yourself in the mirror. Why not make a wonderful copy of this beautiful face? " No woman can be so virtuous that she doesn't want you to reclaim her virgin land. " & gt The problem is that Shakespeare urged young people to make women pregnant, but he fell in love with this young man because of his "peerless beauty", which made men dizzy and shocked women. The poem reads: "You have a woman's face, which was carved by the creator himself, you, my beloved mistress and lover ..." The poet imagined that the creator wanted to create a woman when he created him, but because he liked his works too much, he added something by mistake, which made the poet unable to satisfy his own desires. & gt What happened between them? Who is that woman with dark skin? People don't know but these poems imply that he loves a man, but this man doesn't belong to him; He has desire for a woman, but he hates her very much. & gt Many years have passed, and the past * * * and desires may have become calm. 16 10 One day, Shakespeare retired from London and finally returned to his wife who had been left out for many years. However, in his will written before his death 16 16, he left all his possessions, including barns, stables, orchards and land, to his eldest daughter Susanna. The youngest daughter only got "a gold-plated silver bowl" because the man she married obviously let Shakespeare down-younger than her age and got other women pregnant. As for his wife Anne of 34 years, Shakespeare only inserted one sentence in his will: Leave my second best bed and bedding to my wife. & gt
