“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”

English playwright and poet of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, Shakespeare is best known for his timeless plays and sonnets that explore human nature, love, power, and morality. His works, spanning tragedies like *Hamlet* and *Macbeth*, comedies such as *A Midsummer Night’s Dream*, and historical epics like *Henry V*, remain foundational to Western literature.
