3 Introduction William Shakespeare was the famous poet writer in his era and has influenced English poetry.He wrote his poems in a variety of themes. Mostly, his poem was about the theme of love and he has written at least 38 plays and over 150 including short and long poems. Many of his works are still performed and studied today. Shakespeare is known for his unique style of writing that combined elements of comedy, tragedy, and romance. Some of Shakespeare's most famous poems include "Sonnet 18," "Sonnet 130,” and “ Sonnet 20,”. In "Sonnet 18," the poet is talking to a beloved and is exploring the idea of eternal beauty. The theme of the poem is the beauty of the beloved and the idea that it will be remembered forever through the poet's words. The tone of the poem is admiration and love."Sonnet 130" is one of William Shakespeare's famous sonnets, also known as "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun." In this poem, the poet is poking fun at the traditional love sonnet conventions of his time, which often idealized and praised the beauty of the beloved in exaggerated terms. In “Sonnet 20”, he addresses a young man, expressing his desire for him and his feelings of love. The poem explores the theme of same-sex love and desire, which was not commonly addressed in literature at the time. In these poems, Shakespeare uses figurative language such as metaphors, similes, and personification to bring depth and meaning to his words. For example, in "Sonnet 18," the poet uses the metaphor of summer to describe the beauty of his beloved.
4 William Shakespeare Biography Who Was William Shakespeare? William Shakespeare was officially welcomed into the Christian faith through baptism on April 26, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. He became a significant member of Lord Chamberlain’s Men theatrical company from around 1594. There is limited information available about how his professional life influences his artistic skills. However, it is known that he wrote plays covering all aspects of human emotions and struggles over a period of 20 years. In terms of his birth date, there is no actual record of it; it is believed he was born on or near April 23, 1564, and this is the date scholars acknowledge as William Shakespeare’s birthday. Family William Shakespeare was born as the third child to John Shakespeare, a leather trader, and Mary Arden, a wealthy landowner. He had two elder sisters, Joan and Judith, and three younger brothers named Gilbert, Richard, and Edmund. Prior to Shakespeare’s birth, John had achieved success as a merchant and held positions of power such as alderman and bailiff (a role similar to mayor). Nevertheless, records show that John’s financial status declined in the late 1570s. Childhood and education There are limited records of Shakespeare’s childhood and none about his education. It is believed he probably went to King’s New School in Stratford, where he learned reading, writing, and classics. As a child of a public official, he likely received free education. However, this lack of certainty about his education has led to some questioning the authenticity of his works and even his existence. Married life Shakespeare wed Anne Hathaway on November 28, 1582, in Worcester, Canterbury Province, Hathaway originated from Shottery, a village near Stratford. Shakespeare was 18 years
5 old and Hathaway was 26 and expecting at the time of their wedding. The couple had three children, with Susanna was born on May 26, 1583, followed by the birth of twins Hamnet and Judith on Feb 2, 1585. Tragically, Hamnet died at the age of 11 from unknown causes. Shakespeare’s lost years After the twins were born, there was a 7-year gap in William Shakespeare’s life where no records exist. This period is known as the “lost years” among scholars, and there are various theories about what he did during this time. Some suggest he went into hiding for a poaching game from Sir Thomas Lucy, while others believe he worked as a school teacher in Lancashire. It’s widely believed that he arrived in London in the late 1580s and possibly found work as a horse attendant at high-end theaters. This scenario was later echoed in Hollywood and Broadway by aspiring actors and Playwrights. Theatrical beginnings in London Shakespeare was making a living as an actor and playwright in London by 1592, with some of his plays being produced. Robert Greene, a London playwright, wrote a critical article about Shakespeare in the Stationers’ Register, accusing him of trying to be a better playwright than others. Shakespeare dedicated his first two published poems to Henry Wriothesley, the Earl of Southampton. By 1597, Shakespeare had written and published 15 of his 37 plays, and bought a big house in Stratford. It’s believed he spent most of his time in London, writing and acting, Shakespeare and his associates constructed the Globe Theater on the south bank of the Thames by 1599. In 1605, he invested in real estate near Stratford, paying 440 pounds for the leases which later doubled in value, bringing him an annual income of 60 pounds. This made him an artist and a successful entrepreneur and this income allowed him to focus on his playwriting without any distractions. Writing style In the beginning, Shakespeare wrote plays using the typical style of the era, characterized by elaborate figurative language and ornate expressions that didn’t always fit seamlessly with the narrative or characters. Nonetheless, he broke the mold by utilizing the conventional style in his own unique way, leading to a more natural and fluid use of language. He mainly used a rhythmic
6 pattern of unrhymed iambic pentameter lines, known as blank verse, to write his plays, though there are moments in all of them that diverge from this and use different forms of poetry or straightforward prose. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays over 20 years, from 1590 to 1613, covering several main themes: histories, tragedies, comedies, and tragicomedies. In the early period, most of his works were histories and comedies, except for Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy. Histories such as Henry VI, Richard II, and Henry V showcased weak or corrupt leaders, while comedies like A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Merchant of Venice, and Much Ado About Nothing displayed humor and wit. Julius Caesar depicted political upheaval in Rome, which was relevant to England’s political situation at the time. In the later period after 1600, Shakespeare wrote his famous tragedies, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, which portrayed universal human temperaments. These plays were marked by moral failure, betrayal, and retribution. His final period was characterized by tragic comedies like Cymbeline, The Winter’s Tale, and The Tempest, which had a graver tone but ended with reconciliation and forgiveness. Other plays from this period include All’s Well That Ends Well, Measure for Measure, Timon of Athens, Coriolanus, Pericles, and Henry VIII. About William Shakespeare Death The traditional belief is that Shakespeare passed away on April 23, 1616, his 52nd birthday, but some experts think it’s a false story. According to church records, he was buried at Trinity Church on April 25, 1616. The actual cause of his death remains unknown, though many speculate he died from a short-lived illness. In his last will and testament, he gave most of his belongings to his eldest daughter Susanna. Despite being entitled to a third of his estate his wife, Anne, received little, only being bequeathed with his “second-best-bed” This has led to speculation that the couple had a strained relationship. However, there is limited evidence to suggest that their marriage was troubled. Some scholars argue that the “second-best-bed” was a common term for the marital bed, reserved for the master and mistress of the household, with the “first- best- bed” being set aside for visitors.
7 Facts about William Shakespeare Best known for William Shakespeare, also referred to as “The Bard” or “The Bard of Avon,” is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and is often referred to as England’s National Poet. His dad was a beer taster and a glove maker William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England in April 1564. His family was of moderate means and his father had multiple occupations including selling leather and wool, being a beer taster, and working as a glove maker. The family of five lived above their gloves shop. He couldn’t spell William learned Latin at his school, but spelling was not included in the curriculum. As a result, people spelled words as they pleased. It’s interesting to note that Shakespeare himself spelled his name variously as Willm Shakp, William Shaksper, Wm Shakspe, William Shakspere, and Willm Shakspere. He got married at a young age Shakespeare got married to Anne Hathaway at the young age of 18 and they had three children in a span of three years. (Note: Not the same Anne Hathaway as the actress from the film, “The Witches'') Initially, he attempted to pursue a career as an actor William left home often to pursue his acting career in London, with his brother Edmund soon joining him with the same aspiration. Although he initially struggled as an actor, he found success as a playwright and quickly developed his skills, producing a variety of genres including tragic plays with gore, romantic comedies, and comedies.
8 He was productive Shakespeare is known to have written at least 37 plays in his lifetime, which amounts to an average of two plays per year. Additionally, he was a prolific poet, particularly in the form of sonnetets, with 154 of them being published in 1609 alone. He survived a pandemic William Shakespeare experienced and overcame a pandemic caused by the bubonic plague. Unfortunately, his 11-year-old son, Hamnet, did not survive the disease. This loss deeply impacted Shakespeare's work, as themes of illness, death, and mourning can be seen in many of his plays. It’s believed that the famous character of Hamlet, known for his tragedy, may have been named after Shakespeare’s son. He provided us with a several well-known phrases Shakespeare was known for his humor and wit. He included comedic elements in both his tragedies and comedies, and many of the phrases he created, such as “melted into thin air,” “wild goose chase,” “I haven’t slept a wink,” and “break the ice,” are still in use today. Rude insults were his specialty William Shakespeare was skilled in delivering insult, crafting harsh insults such as: "Thin face is not worth sunburning." "Thou art as fat as butter." And who could forget: "You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! I'll tickle your catastrophe!" He was a shrewd businessman In addition to his skills as a writer, William was also a successful businessman. He coowned both the Lord Chamberlain’s Men theater company and the Globe theater in London, established in 1599. He even expanded his business by opening a second, more upscale indoor theater called the Bladkfriars.
9 He achieved great success Shakespeare’s thriving career led to him purchasing the largest home in Stratford-uponAvon in 1597, which had potentially up to 30 rooms. In six years, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men transformed into The King’s Men, serving as the official actors for King James I of England and King James VI of Scotland. William’s success was solidified, and his family received a unique family crest, designating him as a gentleman. The disaster caused him to halt his writing In Shakespeare’s time, theaters were a new and thrilling experience but also known for their chaotic nature, with dangerous special effects like imitating lightning with fireworks thrown from a trapdoor in the ceiling or creating thunder sounds by rolling a cannon ball on the roof. Unfortunately, it was a misfire from a cannon (not a cannonball) during a performance of Henry VIII at the Globe that caused the theater to burn down in 1613. The cannons were used to signal the start of the play and fired a combination of gunpowder and wadding, igniting the outer roof. This incident marked the end of Shakespeare’s writing career and he passed away three years later. Poet’s Style Shakespeare is widely recognized as the greatest English poet the world has ever known. Otherwise, he used a metrical pattern consisting of lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter, called blank verse. Iambic pentameter is a style of poetry, which refers to a certain number of syllables in a line and the emphasis placed on the syllables. While he did not invent it, William Shakespeare frequently used iambic pentameter in his plays and sonnets. The current known as the Shakespearian sonnet is the English sonnet form Shakespeare popularized such as fourteen lines of Iambic pentameter which includes a ten-syllable pattern of alternating unaccented and accented syllables. Shakespeare wrote plays, using the typical style of the era, characterized by elaborate figurative language and ornate expressions that didn’t always fit seamlessly with the narrative or characters. Nonetheless, he broke the mold by utilizing the conventional style in his own unique way, leading to a more natural and fluid use of language.

11 Famous Poems Alternate Title Shall I compare thee to the summer’s day? Published: 1609 Poem: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st. So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Alternate Title: My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun Published: 1609 Poem: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
12 If hairs are wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I kno That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress when she walks treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. Alternate Title: A woman’s face with Nature’s own hand Painted Published: 1609 Poem: A woman’s face with nature’s own hand painted Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion; A woman’s gentle heart, but not acquainted With shifting change as is false women’s fashion; An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling, Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth; A man in hue, all hues in his controlling, Which steals men’s eyes and women’s souls amazeth. And for a woman wert thou first created, Till nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting, And by addition me of thee defeated By adding one thing to my purpose nothing. But since she pricked thee out for women's pleasure, Mine be thy love and thy love’s use of their treasure. Poem Analysis (Theme & Tone) Sonnet 18 (Shall I compare thee to the summer’s day?) Theme of Sonnet 18 - Love
13 In this poem, the poet uses extended metaphor to compare between the beauty of his lover and the summer day. He praises his beloved who is more lovely than a summer’s day. Strong wind on a summer day can ruin the buds and the sun can be blocked by the clouds. Thus, he listed several disadvantages of the summer day to show that his beloved is better than that. Summer’s day is not a good comparison when compared with his lover.The poet also mentioned that the summer is too hot and as people get older the beauty will fade as nature changes. In contrast, his lover will not change, she will not lose her beauty and will not die. As long as people live, his poetry will live and the beauty of his beloved will last forever. Attitude or Tone of Sonnet 18 The poet expressed the tone of love or deep love to his lover. The poet used the sun in comparison to his lover and mentioned the advantages of the sun in order to praise his lover. Sonnet 130 (My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun) Theme of Sonnet 130 – Love, Ture beauty The main character in the poem “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun” is the poet’s beloved or his wife. When the poem is read, it is obvious that the poet compares his wife to delight and beautiful things such as sun, coral, snow, roses, and goddesses. He describes his beloved's eyes as similar and bright as the sun. And her lips do not red compared to the coral. When her body and breasts are compared to the snow, they are not white but in dun color. He describes his wife’s hair to the black wires. He depicts the woman he loves that her cheeks lack the color of rose, red and white. And her exhales do not smell good as the perfume does. But he loves her voice of speech even though listening to music is more pleasing. He has never seen a goddess walk, but his woman walks on the ground as an ordinary human. And he deeply believes that his lover is unique and that no need to compare with any other things. She is beautiful in her own way. The writer seems unfavored, comparing his beloved wife to a series of things that people recognize as prettiness and beauty. His beloved woman’ eyes are not as bright as the sun, her lips are not red enough, her curly hair is just like wire, her cheeks are less red or pink and her breath smells unpleasantly. These facts at first may cause the reader to think that the poet try to portray an unattractive woman because of those comparisons. In a nutshell, he seems to have degraded his
14 wife by comparing those things. However, he does care about them. In the sentence of comparing her eyes with the sun, he does not state how her eyes look. Similarly, when he compares her breath to the perfumes, he does not describe how her breath smells like. He just states that its smell is not as great as perfumes. All of these statements are reality. All of them are ultimate beautiful things in a human's mind. But he states that all of them are “false compare”. Maybe her eyes are beautiful in different ways though they are not as bright as the sun. Maybe he prefers her reek breath when he must choose two in one even though he admits it does not smell as good as perfumes. The last two sentences are the turning point of the poem. She is extremely ordinary when compared to those elegant things. But he still loves her wife anyway and finds that she is unique and beautiful with flaws in different ways. Attitude or Tone of Sonnet 130 The tone or attitude of the poet in this poem is honesty. He clarifies his wife in the comparison of the world's beauties in order to describe all of her flaws. However, he can accept all of them because everyone is beautiful in their own way. Sonnet 20 (A woman’s face with Nature’s own hand Painted) Theme of sonnet 20 – Male and female sexuality Shakespeare is speaking about man and woman. He tells the planned listener, who is usually considered to be young many or fair youth. They are considered like a woman face, thus, he said that you have a face like a woman, and he is so beautiful and gentle heart. For instance, it was painted by nature and it does not need to change. Shakespeare says that you have a face like a woman’s as you have a kind heart and a beautiful eye like a pretty woman (woman’s eyes – they see everything is pretty) however each of these qualities and attitudes are founded in woman who has them. If we talk about the beautiful of girl, they are pretty without doing make up and he consider that nature made this person. Attitude or Tone of Sonnet 20 The poet expressed the tone of beauty in his life. The poet used the beauty of women to compare men, like the beauty of girl – they are pretty without makeup and it is considered natural.

16 3. Learning English poetry helps to strengthen grammar. 4. Learning English poetry helps to improve oral English. 5. Learning English poetry helps to understand English culture. Learning English poetry is helpful to stimulate interest in learning. Most English poems are short and concise, the images are concise, the words and sentences are beautiful and easy to understand, the language is highly condensed, the words and sentences are exquisitely rhymed, and the words are endless. Classic English poems combine language knowledge, cultural traditions and humanistic stories in vivid words and sentences, and closely combine knowledge with interest, abstraction and image. Compared with rote memorization boring articles and words, poetry uses melodies to build a bridge for students from perceptual understanding to rational understanding, providing students with more perceptual knowledge and image materials, which can enable students to grasp the law of language change from pleasant aesthetic experience in the learning process, stimulate strong interest in learning, and deepen their understanding and consolidation of the content they have learned in the process of appreciating the beauty of poetry. Learning English poetry is helpful to enhance reading comprehension. Poets have adopted many language skills such as expression and meaning, imagery and symbolism, rhetoric and smile in their creation. Let middle school students learn and appreciate English poetry. Through in-depth understanding of the unique art of word-making, combined with the background of poetry creation, the author's life and personality, they can experience rich emotions, various images, exercise imagination and association through concise words, can greatly improve the understanding ability of long and difficult sentences, inverted sentences and various complex grammatical structures, and greatly improve their understanding and overall cognition of English language. Especially through repeated singing training, the unique language artistic conception of poetry will cultivate students' imagination and comprehension, and improve the comprehensive application ability of English listening, speaking, reading and writing. Learning English poetry is conducive to improving oral English. Poetry originated from the artisticization of spoken English. It was originally a form of oral literature used for singing. It is the media art of language. It reads catchy and sounds inflated, with great rhythmic and rhythmic beauty. Many well-known English songs that have been popular for a long time are poems themselves. By reciting English poetry, people and listeners can feel the beauty of rhythm, appreciate the charm of English poetry, and enjoy the aesthetic fun of poetry. In middle school

Learning English poetry is conducive to strengthening grammar. Zhu Guang's potential translation and research on Western philosophy and aesthetic works concluded: "words have history, that is, there is growth and change. The words 400 years ago are not easy to read, but the words of the 18th century are only more than a hundred years away. If they are completely solved with the current meanings, they are often fall into mistakes." Through the study of classical English poetry, medieval English poetry and modern English poetry, we can compare and find the continuous development and change of English grammar and word meaning, understand the evolution trajectory of English, broaden the thinking of English learning, and enrich the way of English learning. Learning English poetry is conducive to understanding English culture. Culture is the soil for language production. In traditional English teaching, more attention is often paid to the external form and grammar structure of language, and cultural education is ignored behind the language, which makes it difficult for students to understand the language thoroughly and use it correctly. As a carrier of culture, English poetry vividly records and depicts human life and emotions with exquisite language art. Through the appreciation of English poetry, we can better understand the social development, living customs, behaviors, values, thinking methods, religious beliefs, national hearts, humanities and history of the countries and regions on which the author lives. Through the understan (William Shakespeare Biography, n.d.)ding of Western cultures, students can feel the cultural charm of English.
