What is an important event of william Shakespeares life?
Hailey.cook said:One important event in William Shakespeare's life was the impact of the Black Plague. The Plague raged through his city and even took the life of his only son, Hamnet. This is where his ideas on humanism may have derived from. For example, in his play Hamlet, the protagonist Prince Hamlet struggles to understand death. Many plays before Shakespeare's time were focused on religion, so the dark ideas that Prince Hamlet expresses in this play were very shock-worthy back in the 1500s. The positive effect that the plague had on Shakespeare was that the disease caused the theatres to be shutdown, therefor putting a hault to his acting career. There wasn't much work to be done for an actor during this time, so he turned to playwriting. If the Black Plague never occurred, we may never have unleashed the creative imagination of one of the world most influential writers. This is why the Black Plague was one of the important events in William Shakespeare's life.Bolognaking said:The above account is factually inaccurate. The Plague epidemic swept through Europe in the 1300s, more than 200 years before Shakespeare was born, and although the disease had not been eradicated in Shakespeare's day, it was no more of an event than bad plumbing. There is no reason to suppose that Hamnet died of plague--there was no plague outbreak in Stratford at the time. The ideas that Shakespeare expressed in Hamlet were not "shock-worthy" or even surprising, but followed on the traditions started by Kyd and Marlowe and that generation of playwrights. Shakespeare was writing plays long before the theatres were shut down in 1593-1594, and anyway, actors didn't stop acting when the theatres shut down, they just stopped acting in the city. A real actual important event in Shakespeare's life was the Spanish Armada, which was defeated when Shakespeare was 24, and another was the St. Batholomew's Day Massacre which happened when Shakespeare was 8.
What was the black death and how did it impact shakespeares career?
The Black Death was an epidemic of Bubonic Plague which swept through Europe in the 1300s and killed one-third of the population.

By Shakespeare's day, two hundred years later, it had died out. The plague virus had, however mutated and a new disease was a problem, called Pneumonic Plague, because it attacked the lungs rather than the lymphatic system. This kind of plague made frequent outbreaks throughout England during Shakespeare's life. Shakespeare's sister Anne died of it.
