Who Was Shakespeare?

In my research I found that Shakespeare's identity is a mystery for the most part. We know minor details about him, but that's all. He was born in 1564, the third child and first son of John Shakespeare and his wife Mary Arden, in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. He married Anne Hathaway in 1582 and they had 3 children. We don;t know exactly what he looks like, but we have some good guesses. When most students think of Shakespeare, they think "boring." At least that's what I always thought. Now that I have actually tried to understand his art, i appreciate it a lot more. I understand most of his slang now, but I still struggle putting it together.
