We continued our study of the biography of Shakespeare as well as the controversial provenance of the plays. I addressed Shakespeare's evolution from a poet ,to a writer of comedies ,to a writer of tragedies and explained the Elizabethan culture that stigmatized dramatic works and those associated with the theatre. We further noted the theatrical groups where Shakespeare played an integral role as playwright , actor, and theatre owner. Last, we discussed Shakespeare's death in Stratford as a rich landowner who bequeathed his fortune to his oldest daughter leaving his wife only "his second best bed." We further addressed fictional reimaginings of Shakespeare's life and marriage most notably in Farrel's contemporary novel ,Hamlet, and the recently released movie based on the novel.
