You Kiss By The Book - The Works of Shakespeare

William Shakespeare is known as the greatest English playwright in history. His plays have influenced countless artists as well as the lives of people in the western world. Shakespeare was also a master of romance, and this can be seen in many of his plays. In fact, some of his comedies and tragedies were centered on the theme of romantic love, but there were also times when he ridiculed those who did foolish things when they fell in love. His Romeo and Juliet is still considered one of the greatest love stories of all time.

 

The Histories

 

The history plays of Shakespeare were based on the kings of England, ranging from King John to King Henry VIII. His most popular histories are King John, Henry IV, and Henry V. King John was written in the mid-1960s, and it is a spectacular play that relates the military conflicts that took place during the reign of King John. Henry IV consists of two parts, and it tells the story of King Henry’s son, Prince Hal, who was transformed from a self-indulgent person to a responsible heir to the throne. In Henry V, Shakespeare gave an interesting account of how Henry V became a respected king after he united France and England.
