Personal Quote:
We owe God a death. See more »Trivia:
Shakespeare willed his "second-best bed" to his wife, Anne Hathaway. Many scholars took that to be an insult, but this interpretation is incorrect. In 17th-century England, a home's best bed was reserved for guests; a husband and wife slept in the second-best one. Shakespeare's gesture was a sentimental reminder of the love he bore his wife.

His plays often have either tragic or bitter sweet endings See more »Nickname:
