In the play Shakespeare accurately identifies Sir Edmund Mortimer as Hotspur's brother-in-law, but simultaneously conflates him with his nephew by referring to him as 'Earl of March'. The Southampton Plot is dramatized in Shakespeare's play ""Henry V"" (Act II Scene II). But its intent is misstated, and Mortimer's role in exposing it and condemning the plotters is completely omitted. Edmund Mortimer also appears in ""Henry VI,"

"The Scottish Play The Scottish Play and The Bard's Play are euphemisms for William Shakespeare's ""Macbeth"". The first is a reference to the play's Scottish setting, the second a reference to Shakespeare's popular nickname. According to a theatrical superstition, called the ""Scottish curse"", speaking the name ""Macbeth"" inside a theatre will cause disaster. A variation of the superstition also forbids quoting it within a theatre except as part of an actual rehearsal or performance of the play. Because of this superstition, the lead character is most often referred to as the ""Scottish King"" or ""Scottish Lord"". Lady Macbeth is often"

Hieronymus Osius, however, confined himself to making the story’s lesson that the wise man notes not only signs of danger but also learns from them to be cautious. The necessity of being wary in all one's enterprises, ""keeping in view the profit and loss"", was also the message of Gilles Corrozet's emblematic use of the fable in his ""Hecatomographie"" (1540). During the 17th century the fable was almost always interpreted as a warning against association with rulers. Wenceslas"

"William Hazlitt raised admiration for Shakespeare to worship or even ""bardolatry"" (a sarcastic coinage from bard + idolatry by George Bernard Shaw in 1901, meaning excessive or religious worship of Shakespeare). To compare him to other Renaissance playwrights at all, even for the purpose of finding him superior, began to seem irreverent. Shakespeare was rather to be studied without any involvement of the critical faculty, to be addressed or apostrophised—almost prayed to—by his worshippers, as in Thomas De Quincey's classic essay ""On the Knocking at the Gate in ""Macbeth"""" (1823): ""O, mighty poet!

Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan tragedian of his day. He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe's mysterious early death. Marlowe's plays are known for the use of blank verse and their overreaching protagonists. A warrant was issued for Marlowe's arrest on 18 May 1593.

For the next few years, Shakespeare would produce his most famous dramas, including ""Macbeth,"" ""Hamlet,"" and ""King Lear.""

The final grouping of plays, called Shakespeare's late romances, include ""Pericles, Prince of Tyre"", ""Cymbeline"", ""The Winter's Tale"" and ""The Tempest"".

"William Shakespeare William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the ""Bard of Avon"". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 39 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire."
"However, Shakespeare's attitude towards Richard was shaped by scholar Thomas More, whose writings displayed extreme bias against the Yorkist king. The result of these influences is a script that vilifies the king, and Shakespeare had few qualms about departing from history to incite drama. Margaret of Anjou died in 1482, but Shakespeare had her speak to Richard's mother before the battle to foreshadow Richard's fate and fulfill the prophecy she had given in ""Henry VI"". Shakespeare exaggerated the cause of Richard's restless night before the battle, imagining it as a haunting by the ghosts of those whom the king had"
