The whole world recognizes Shakespeare as the greatest writer in English, and the greatest playwright in any language. There may be a debate whether Shakespeare is the finest writer of anything, when he is in competition with Goethe and Dante and Cervantes and people like that.

1. Being satirized by the critic Greene in Greene's Groatsworth of Wit in 1592. 2. John Manningham wrote in his diary a dirty joke that was making the rounds in 1602 about Shakespeare and Burbage. 3.

Why did Shakespeare write his plays for Queen Elizabeth The First?

If Shakespeare wrote his plays for Queen Elizabeth it would be because Queen Elizabeth was held in high regard, so Shakespeare would have written the plays in her honor and name. However, Shakespeare did not write his plays for Queen Elizabeth. None of them are dedicated to her, and he wrote most of them after her death.

What is easier French or Hindi for a seventh grader who studied Hindi for 9 years but thinks French is easier?

French is not really difficult to understand for people speaking an European language, especially Spanish or Italian which share the same Latin origin, or even for English-speaking people. That said, taking a language from scratch is always challenging. If you have no knowledge of French, and are already mastering (or have a good understanding) of Hindi, I would regard Hindi as easier.
