William Shakespeare requires no introduction. The man behind every high-school literature and drama class around the world. The man responsible for Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and many more literary works. As romantic and passionate as Shakespeare was in his writing, he didn’t seem to be anything like that in life.
