Somewhere around half of Shakespeare's plays were written after Julius Caesar. We cannot say which one was immediately afterwards, because we have no hard evidence of which plays were written when. Henry V is a possibility, although many scholars would reverse the plays and have Caesar follow Henry.

What was Shakespeare's term for a pearl in Hamlet act v scene 2?

Was Hamlet the character based upon Shakespeare's father?

There is no reason to believe so. The story of Hamlet was well-known long before Shakespeare heard about it, and some of the lines of his character were already drawn. Whether he was inspired to change aspects of that character by someone he knew is anyone's guess.


How does Hamlet's soliloquy differ from Shakespeare's?

I don't think you understand something very basic about writers. They are not necessarily characters in the works they write. We do not worry about whether Edward loves Bella or Stephanie Meyer. We do not ask whether Obi Wan Kenobi speaks better than George Lucas. And Shakespeare does not have soliloquys, although he writes them for his characters like Hamlet. Shakespeare is not a character in any play he wrote (although he is sometimes a character in other peoples' plays, as he is in Shakespeare in Love). In any case, "Hamlet's soliloquy" is meaningless. Hamlet has five soliloquys: "O that this too too solid flesh would melt", "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I", "To be or not to be, that is the question", "Now is the very witching time of night" and "How all occasions do inform against me." Unless you specify which one you are talking about, nobody can answer your question.

What was the inspiration to Shakespeare to write King Lear?

If you mean "where did he get his ideas?" he got them from older plays he had seen (Hamlet, King Lear, Taming of the Shrew), and books he had read, especially Holinshed's Chronicles (the history plays) and Plutarch's lives (the Roman plays).


How does the name Hamlet relate to Shakespeare?

He wrote the play Hamlet. You might think that the name was developed from his son's name- Hamnet, who died about five years before he wrote the play. But you'd be wrong. Shakespeare's son was named after his neighbour Hamnet Sadler, and his daughter, Hamnet's twin, was named for Hamnet Sadler's wife Judith Sadler. The character in the play was called Hamlet (or some variation on that) for three hundred and fifty years before Shakespeare got hold of it.Thinking that Shakespeare named the character after his son is like thinking that he named the main character in King John after his father, or one of the main female characters in Henry VIII, Anne Bullen, after his wife.
