Shakespeare was born April 26,1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon which was a beautiful country town of neat, half timbered houses, each with a garden. (Wietzman PG 33). There were a bunch of little shops and churches and was shaded with thousands of elms amidst pastures dotted with orchards. (Wietzman PG 33). The town hasn t changed much over the centuries and is the town William grew up in. Shakespeare s neighbors were among all different sorts of trades, such as; tailors, brewers, bakers and leather workers giving him a broad perspective of lifestyles he would eventually use in creating plays, sonnets and other works such as King John (1596).

Shakespeare was the third child of eight but the oldest of the males giving him the opportunity to become the first to inherit his father s business. William s father, John Shakespeare, was a wool seller and glove maker. John was also fortunate enough to receive his wealth from his father and father-in-law. John was a man of importance in the town and had a respect because of holding important positions in the city council.
