William Shakespeare and The Twelfth Night
Known for his tragedies, comedies, sonnets and love stories, William Shakespeare is argued to be one of the best writers of his time. Throughout his plays, including The Twelfth Night, he uses disguise and deceit to fool the other characters to benefit another. Shakespeare was born in April of 1564 in the town Stratford-upon-Avon. Although the exact date of his birth is not known, historians traditionally celebrate it on the 23rd. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a well-known merchant in his community. Not much is known about his Mother, or of his schooling. It is said that Shakespeare probably attended the King’s New School in Stratford, but had no further university education.
