all one's life

William shakespeare, a great English playwright and poet, 1564 was born in Stratford, England. Although he received a good basic education, he didn't go to college. Shakespeare married a 26-year-old woman in 18, and gave birth to three children in less than 2 1.

A few years later, he came to London and became an actor and playwright. He stood up at the age of 30 and became famous in the theater. Four years later, he has become a leading figure in British drama. In the following ten years, he wrote Julius Caesar, otero, Macbeth and King Lear.

Shakespeare has lived in London for more than twenty years, while his wife has been living in Stratford. When he approached his fate, he retired to his hometown of Stratford. Shakespeare died around his 52nd birthday. His descendants are all dead.

Shakespeare left 37 plays to the world, including some common plays that he co-wrote with others. In addition, he also wrote 154 sonnets and three or four long poems.

As far as Shakespeare's genius, achievement and reputation are concerned, it seems a little strange that his name failed to rank among the best in this book. I rank Shakespeare so low, not because I don't appreciate his artistic achievements, but because I think literary figures generally have little influence on human history.

The activities of religious leaders, scientists, politicians, explorers, philosophers or inventors often affect the development of many other fields of human struggle. For example, the progress of science has had a great impact on economic and political affairs, and also affected the development of religious beliefs, philosophical views and art.

A famous painter may have a great influence on the works of later painters, but his influence on music and literature may be very small, and he has no influence on exploration and other fields of human struggle. A similar statement applies to poets, playwrights and music composers. Generally speaking, literary figures only have an influence on literature and art, but in fact they only have an influence on the special field they are engaged in. It is for this reason that no literary, musical or artistic figures are included in the top 30, and only a few figures are included in this book.

So why are there literary figures in this book? This is because appreciating literature and art has a certain direct influence on everyone's life (although this influence is not always great). In other words, a person may spend some time listening to music, some time reading, some time painting, and so on. Even though the time we spend listening to songs has no influence on our other activities (this is definitely an exaggeration), this part of time still represents the boring time in our lives.

An artist may have more influence on our lives than the time we spend listening, reading or watching his works. This is because his works are likely to have an impact on the creative activities of other writers, and their works are what we experience and appreciate.

In some cases, literary and artistic works have more or less definite philosophical content, which will affect our views on other issues. Of course, literary works are more like this than music or art works. For example, in Romeo and Juliet (Act III, Scene 1), Shakespeare asked the prince to say, "Don't be soft on the murderer, or you will encourage the murder." The ideas put forward here (whether people accept them or not) have distinct philosophical contents, which may have an impact on people's political attitudes, rather than enjoying the Mona Lisa and other influences.

It seems indisputable that Shakespeare is second to none among all literary figures. Relatively speaking, few people talk about Chaucer, Virgil or even Homer today, but if Shakespeare's plays are to be staged, there will definitely be a large audience. Shakespeare's genius in writing is unparalleled, and his words are often quoted-even those who have never seen or read his plays. Besides, his fame is not a flash in the pan. In the past 400 years, his works have brought a lot of joy to readers and critics. As Shakespeare's works have stood the test of time, it is reasonable to speculate that they will be widely welcomed in many centuries to come.

When evaluating Shakespeare's influence, we should consider that without him, his works would not exist at all (of course, the similar statement applies to every literary figure, but this factor is not particularly important when evaluating the influence of ordinary artists).

Although Shakespeare wrote in English, he was indeed a world-famous figure. Although English is not a complete world language, it is closer to the world language than any other language. In addition, Shakespeare's works have been translated into many literary works, and many countries have read his works and staged his plays.

Of course, the works of some popular writers will be despised by literary critics, but unlike Shakespeare, literary scholars spare no effort to praise his works. Generations of playwrights have studied his works in an attempt to acquire his literary temperament. It is precisely because of Shakespeare's great influence on other writers and his constant appreciation by the public that he won a quite high ranking in this book.

The classic line is:

1. Fragile, your name is woman!

To be or not to be is a question. To be or not to be, that is a question. )

3. People who give up time will also be given up by time.

A successful liar no longer needs to lie for a living, because the deceived person has become his supporter, and nothing I say is useless.

Man can control his own destiny. If we are controlled by others, it is not fate, but ourselves.

A happy love relaxed the nervousness of the fighter.

Too perfect love, sad and harmful, as a Jianghu child, I don't have the leisure time.

8 jealous brothers are all lies!

God is fair, and those who control their destiny will always stand at both ends of the scale. Only those who are in the hands of fate can understand that God has given him fate!

10 Proud people always destroy themselves in pride.

1 1 Love is sweet pain, and sincere love is never smooth.

12 is sought after by men because of her beauty; Because she was a woman, she was captured by a man.

13 it would be terrible if women were jealous because of their feelings.

Do not, for one repulse, give up the purpose that you resolved to achieve.

15 women do not have the conditions to be proud of love.

16 I admit that nothing is more painful than the punishment of love, and nothing is more enjoyable than serving love.

17 A new flame can put out the old flame, and a big pain can alleviate a small pain.

18 A wise man becomes a fool, which is the easiest fish to take the bait. Because he relies on his own talent and knowledge, he can't see his arrogance.

19 The folly of fools is not unusual, but the folly of wise men makes people laugh. Because he used all his skills to prove his stupidity.

The appearance is often completely inconsistent with the thing itself, and the world is easily deceived by the surface decoration.

No matter how long the darkness is, the day will come.

22 if you work hard for a day, you will get a day's sleep; If you work hard all your life, you can sleep forever.

Women are loved, not understood.

Gold, you are really something. You can make the old less, the ugly more beautiful, the black more white and the wrong more right. ...

Rotate more when you are dizzy. Your own sorrow can be cured by the sorrow of others!

Love is like a flower growing on a cliff. You must have the courage to choose it.

The whole world is a huge stage, and men and women in the world of mortals are just actors. On-off and on-off. Everyone plays many roles in his life, and there are seven stages from birth to death.
