A playwright and a poet, a humanist and a Renaissance man - William Shakespeare is considered to be a great English-speaking writer, the national poet of England and one of the best playwrights in the world. His plays have been translated into all major languages and are performed more frequently than works of other authors. And studios shoot pictures to the works of Shakespeare, which are as relevant today as in the times of the author. William Shakespeare was born in April 23, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon (England), in an artisan family. His father was a glove-maker, respected in the city. Once, he was even elected mayor. William went to a grammar school, which was regarded as one of the best; the main subjects there were English, Latin and Greek. At the age of 18, Shakespeare married the daughter of a neighbor landowner. His wife was older than him by 8 years. The family had three children. During his creative life of a great playwright he wrote 17 comedies, 11 tragedies, 5 poems, 150 sonnets and 10 chronicals. Even now, debates continue whether Shakespeare was the author of all these and some other works. Soon, for some unknown reason Shakespeare retires and returns home from London, where he spends his last years of life with the family. There are suggestions that he was ill at that time: his will, dated March 15, 1616, was written very illegibly. The great playwright William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616 in his native city of Stratford-upon-Avon. In accordance with his will, his body was buried under the altar of a church in Stratford.
Diana Spencer was born on the first of July 1961 in Sandringham in England. She had two older sisters and a younger brother. In childhood she liked games, swimming, running and dancing. She wanted to become a dancer. Besides she loved children very much and at the age of sixteen she worked in schools for very young children. Diana became princess, when Prince Charles, the Queen's son, asked her to be his wife and they got married. They seemed to be a happy couple at first. They had two sons. They travelled a lot they worked a lot, they visited many countries together. But Diana was not quite happy because they did different things and Charles didn't understand her. Why was Diana the most famous, the most beautiful, the most photographed woman in the world? Why did she win the hearts of millions and millions of people in many countries? Why did so many people come to London to remember her when she died? Why did the car accident which took her life, become such a total shock to crowds of people? Why did people feel the need to be in London at the funeral? Why did the tears and love at the funeral move the world? The answer is so simple. Matthew Wall, a student at St. Michael's College in Burlington said: "She was such a lovely lady. She did so much for those people less fortunate that herself". She was a kind woman. Hundreds of people talked about Diana's kindnesses. She liked ordinary people, though she was rich and had many rich friends. Wherever she was, she was always ready to lend a hand. She was devoted to the sick and the poor. She visited hospitals for people with AIDS and for lepers and wasn't afraid to touch them, talk to them, listen to them.
