It probably did, but if so it was not reflected in the plays which Shakespeare was writing at the time of Hamnet's death, viz. around 1596. Shakespeare was very close about his feelings and did not tell everyone about them (of if he did, they did not make note of it).
It was first printed in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death.
Swift was born about fifty years after Shakespeare's death.
Nothing at all.
Because most children would die in those times, and the few that survived were very lucky, it is remarkable that all of Shakespeare's brothers lived into adulthood. (Three of his four sisters died as children, two at infacy and Anne at age eight) Shakespeare's brother Gilbert was a haberdasher in London an lived at least into his forties, but his date of death is not known, never mind the cause. It is often believed on the basis of a church burial register that he died in 1612, but there is some reason to think that that may have been a different Gilbert Shakespeare. About Richard Shakespeare nothing much is known besides the dates of birth and death; he lived all his 39 years in Stratford, and nobody knows his cause of death. Edmund Shakespeare was, like his oldest brother, an actor, but he died in London at age 27, possibly of the plague.
Shakespeare's son Hamnet, the fraternal twin of his daughter Judith, died at age 11, cause of death unknown.
He died April 23, 1616. Nobody knows why.
Lady Montague's death in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" is attributed to grief caused by the death of her son, Romeo. She dies offstage, and the text does not provide a specific cause of death for her character.
Shakespeares son Hamnet, died when he was 11. The cause of his death is unknown.
Oh, there's an old tale that Shakespeare was out drinking with Ben Jonson and he caught a fever as a result which led to his death. Only what was Jonson doing in Stratford?
There is no contemporary record of the cause of Shakespeare's death. Significantly, there is no record of any legal proceedings arising out of a murder. This contrasts sharply with the case of Christopher Marlowe, who WAS murdered, and the fact is well-documented. A somewhat later account of the cause of Shakespeare's death says he died of a fever brought on by excess drinking with Ben Jonson. This is the best evidence we have as to his cause of death.
Mary (Arden) Shakespeare (c. 1537â??1608) was the mother of William Shakespeare. The cause of her death is unknown, but she died at age 68.
Shakespeares son Hamnet, died when he was 11. The cause of his death is unknown.
Throughout his play, Shakespeare uses death to move his story along. He does this with actual deaths, which cause problems for the lovers, and through premonitions and dreams of death. Both Juliet and her Romeo exhibit these premonitions/dreams.
William Shakespeare's child Hamnet was his son, not his daughter, he was the fraternal twin of Shakespeare's daughter Judith. Hamnet was born around January / February 1585 and he died in August 1596. The cause of his death is not known.
William Basse wrote about William Shakespeare when he was close to his death.
Nobody is really sure what the cause of Shakespeare's death was. There is an old story that he got a fever after a night of carousing with Jonson and some other theatrical friends. Maybe they were having a party for Shakespeare's birthday. Nobody knows for sure.
