William Shakespeare is argued by most people to be the greatest playwright of the Renaissance. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare created many plays and other works that are performed even today and contain many valuable life lessons and themes that are still relevant today. Among his greatest works are "The Tempest", "Romeo and Juliet", a love story that has lasted for generations, "Hamlet", "Julius Caesar", and more. His plays are evergreen and continue to be performed to this day.
