When shakespeare meet his wife was it love at first sight?

Answer 1

The hamlet of Shottery was only a mile from the town of Stratford where William Shakespeare lived with his family. Anne Hathaway would have often visited the town and would have therefore had the opportunity to meet William Shakespeare. At this time Anne would have been 26 and William 18. A considerable age difference,

We don't know exactly. It wasn't a large community and she didn't live that far away from Stratford. There were, no doubt, many occasions on which young people could meet.

Answer 2

Shakespeare married Ann Hathaway. She was about eight years older than him. They both lived in the same area. Shakespeare lived in the town of Stratford On Avon and Ann lived in the village of Shottery, about a mile from Stratford. We don't know how or when they met exactly but it was probably in or around Stratford. They were married in November, 1582. Shakespeare is supposed to have written is Sonnet 145 about Ann.

Answer 3

Eighteen or less. We know they were acquainted at least by the time he was eighteen because they became well enough acquainted to produce a child. It is difficult to say when they might have met, since Anne was from Shottery, not far from Stratford, and they could have met under a lot of different circumstances. They probably did not have a childhood romance because she was so much older than he was.

Answer 4

Nobody knows. Their parents did know each other but we have no idea how they met.

Answer 5

Not known. We know very few details of their lives.
