How would you describe William Shakespeare?

Answer 1

From most of the actually authenticated pictures of him (the Droushout, the Chandos and the Stratford Monument) he appeared to be somewhat small and a little stout. He had a receding hairline and a thin and straight nose. His hair and beard were dark, and he wore his beard just on the chin with a moustache--not a full beard as was fashionable.

Answer 2

William Shakespeare was a renowned English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. His works, which include plays such as "Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet," and "Macbeth," continue to be studied and performed worldwide. Shakespeare's impact on literature, theater, and the arts is immeasurable.
