“Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow worldLike a Colossus; and we petty menWalk under his huge legs, and peep aboutTo find ourselves dishonourable graves.”

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.
