There were many influential poets that have existed throughout history. William Shakespeare is a prime example of an influential poet. There are also a huge amount of styles that poetry have. There are some type of poetry where one follows rigid guidelines like sonnets, where one follows a specific rhyme scheme and an iambic pentameter, or a haiku, which has three lines and the first and last line have five syllables while the second line has seven. There are other types where one has no requirements, and writes has they please, like free verse poetry. That is not all that there is to poetry. There are tons and tons of figurative language in them; similes, hyperboles, and metaphors are just some examples of an endless list of figurative language. Poetry can also be affected by the time period and place. For …show more content…
He garnered attention as a poet that wrote in Imagist style. He put his writing career on hold to fight in World War I. He was deeply affected by his time in the war and that was shown in his post-war writings. His works were considered to be extremely pessimistic after returning from the trenches. “A Times Literary Supplement reviewer notes that in these poems Aldington increases the contrast ‘between the integrity and cleanliness of the Greeks ...and the dingy muddle of the present’” (“Richard Aldington”). Richard Aldington became more of a writer and critic in his later years. He translated and edited many works. In 1954, the public’s opinion of Richard diminished drastically since his biography on the legendary Lawrence Arabia was written mostly on legend, and the public did not like that; a couple years later the public’s opinion of Richard subsided a little, and he continued to make works. In 1962 he was invited to go to the Soviet Union by Alexei Surkov, secretary of the Soviet Writers Union; he thoroughly enjoyed his time spent there. Richard Aldington died in
Shakespeare was a writer of many plays like Romeo and Juliet, or Hamlet but, some people believe that he did not write his plays. In some of the sources they would explain that shakespeare couldn't have wrote the plays. The others sources say otherwise, they say that he could easily imagine how it would be like to be rich and their for him being able to write the plays. From all the evidence that the sources gave, Shakespeare did not or could not write his plays because he was not educated well enough to be able to write the plays with such sophisticated language another reason that Shakespeare was not the writer there's not enough evidence such as copies of the plays.
Throughout the last century, a raging phenomenon known as the “Authorship Debate”, has come to light. It disputes whether Shakespeare himself wrote the plays and sonnets or if it was someone else writing under a pseudonym. There are countless theories of who the writer might actually be but the main suspects are Shakespeare himself, Edward de Vere, Sir Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley, Roger Manners, Sir Walter Raleigh and Mary Sidney Herbert (Pressley).

Poetry is considered to be a representational text in which one explores ideas by using symbols. Poetry can be interpreted many different ways and is even harder to interpret when the original author has come and gone. Poetry is an incredible form of literature because the way it has the ability to use the reader as part of its own power. In other words, poetry uses the feelings and past experiences of the reader to interpret things differently from one to another, sometimes not even by choice of the author. Two famous poets come to mind to anybody who has ever been in an English class, Robert Frost and E.E. Cummings. Both of these poets have had numerous famous pieces due to the fact that they both
Shakespeare’s playwrights and poetry empower people to do great things, prove to serve as living textbooks, and also help educate people. It’s important to experience his works, for they are truly inspirational arts that motivate people to do exceptional things and perhaps break a vicious cycle of corruption. There are many children in the world whose families are living below the poverty line and are in need of something to turn to. In the documentary by Laurence Bridges he showed an emotional story about a highschool girl that was only two weeks away from being inducted into a gang. The girl knew that she wanted to do something better, but needed to turn to something; so she took to Shakespeare. Here, within his works, she found herself and didn’t end up joining the gang. She avoided falling back into the cycle of corruption and violence. Weeks later she went onto help others in her class comprehend Shakespeare 's messages. Shakespeare’s poetry and stories allowed the girl to express herself in a way that he never sought to be possible. Shakespeare 's works got her involved with something that she was passionate about, and provided her with an alternative to violence. Shakespeare has been credited for helping people discover the “real” them. For young adults have shared their experiences about being inspired by the stories and were empowered by the stories to do greater things. His writings act as a vehicle that drive people to success and helps to empower them and
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea , my love as deep ;the more I give thee, The more I have,for both are infinite.” William shakespeare’s Drama Romeo & Juliet has been questioned for its relevance and inclusion in the ninth grade curriculum. Romeo and Juliet & Juliet gives students a different way to learn what they would ,otherwise, learn off of a worksheet. Shakespeare’s beautiful enriched language has many benefits in the High School.
William Shakespeare has immortalized himself through the timeless themes found in his works. This fame has encouraged the continuous and customary study of Shakespearean literature, often over that of his contemporaries. In an effort to analyze Shakespeare's works, scholars have tried to connect his personal life with the stories and characters he created. However, there is hardly any information to base this analysis on. With much ambiguity surrounding Shakespeare's educational and personal background, many scholars have been persuaded to ask the question: who wrote Shakespeare? The Shakespearean Authorship debate has long been studied by experts, and both the Stratfordian and Anti-Stratfordian positions have been taken; however, only the Stratfordian stance can provide sufficient literary and historical evidence.
The Shakespeare name is known by almost everyone. The true identity of the great writer is still a mystery. There isn’t a single picture to portray the true identity of Shakespeare. When you look at the pictures they are different and resemble someone else. We know that he was a well educated business man, knowledgeable in the law and Royalty just for starters. The man credited with the works doesn’t poses these qualities. Over the years, more people ask the same question, who was the true Shakespeare?
For this project, I believe that I am an anti-stratfordian. There is no possible way that Shakespeare could have written all of his works in such minimal time. Going into this project, I expect to form a more educated and informed opinion on this matter. I would like to acknowledge both sides of the argument and pick a side. Before I started researching for this project, I had no idea where to start. Frankly, I didn’t even realize how controversial the Shakespeare’s authorship question really was. I wasn’t sure which websites were true or which ones simply wanted you to believe their side, no matter what false information they presented to you. However, by the end of my research, I am hoping to find four reliable and informative websites
William Shakespeare, the most famous of all English writers, has written many works. Shakespeare's life has very much to do with the style of his writing as his stories are from his past experiences. In a very fascinating way, he had the ability to translate the issues of his own time into universal themes. Shakespeare was of interest with his controversial. He was a common phenomenon in his day, as he was part of a theatrical world.
Shakespeare’s authorship is being called into question. Reasonings include, multiple indecipherable signatures, the lack of a poet or playwright reputation and missing records. Shakespeare only has six signatures and all can be found on legal documents. Although he is claimed to be a reputable poet, he never had a poet or playwright reputation. There are suspiciously no signatures on any of his works, which creates no record of him being a true author. This evidence leads one to believe he is not an author, but rather a plagiarist. Many authors believe he is still the author with arguments such as the signatures could be a result of different ways to spell the name, or the reputation debate is because he performed in London, but was a businessman
William Shakespeare has remained a powerful literary force to this day, and few of his works are as well known as Macbeth. The play 's epic tale of ambition and greed never fails to captivate audiences. The major themes of this quintessential work are hackneyed in the world of literary criticism: the role of ambition in Macbeth 's demise, the role of spirits and witches in carrying out evil, the corrupting of human morals, and many other similar themes. However, another equally important theme is the struggle of fate and free will. In Macbeth, fate is the dominant force; the characters ' brief attempts to exercise self control almost always fail to alter the unyielding weight of fate. Fate is the dominant force in the play, and this can be
any people believe and didn’t believe Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. Living in an illiterate household, how could he wrote such strong and creative works that he did with the vocabulary used. There isn’t any documentation of any of his original works by him and there are many famous doubters saying he didn’t write his own works. With that being said I’m anti stratfordian , I don’t believe Shakespeare wrote his own work due to the lack of evidence.
Shakespeare was a genius when it came to pleasing an audience , his work is loved by everyone all over the world so much that his plays have been translated into many languages like it states in the article , “ Britain puts on a Shakespeare marathon as world arrives for the olympic games “ by The Washington post/ Associated press, “more than 40 languages , have ranged from an iraq ‘'Romeo and Juliet’ to a russian ‘'Midsummer Night's Dream’ .” His work appeals to everyone around the world no matter their gender, age, or sexual orientation.

"That every word doth almost tell my name / Showing their birth, and where they did proceed..." Some might say that this quote from Sonnet 76 eloquently expresses the narrator's desire to be heard. This is a normal enough emotion to have. In today's society, people will fight behemently for that right. In Elizabethan times, however, to be heard was not a right at all, but a privilege. The queen, Elizabeth I, had the power to silence any opposition. One could easily see how a verse like the above example could find its inspiration. Some would argue that, with the necessary information, one could just as easily see a darker purpose uncovered, William Shakespeare: Did he exist? There is no doubt
