catlion on 11 Dec 13I think it's amazing how many plays and sonnets he managed to write. Many authors today don't write that many books. Theo, maybe he didn't have a very good relationship with his family, could that have played into some of his characters, like Hamlet and his mother, who aren't very close with their parents? (Gus)

Reanna Martin on 16 Dec 13The fact I found most fascinating is actually the second, because I feel like dying on your birthday must really suck, and it really ruins the "happy" part of happy birthday. I also appreciated the facts about his plays. I do, however, think that we are all thinking way too much on the family issue. We all have families but we manage to get things done, and wasn't his youngest son, the one who died, inspiration for Hamlet? If so, then his family through grief and love must have been a monumental influence to his comedies, tragedies and dramas. If so, could we possibly assume that perhaps his family helped him on his plays and that's how he wrote so many so quickly? What do you think?
