Considering he’s arguably the greatest, most important, and influential writer of all time, it’s almost shocking how little we know about the life of William Shakespeare. Yet one of the things that we do know is that he had three kids, and his only son, Hamnet, died at the age of 11. Just a few years later, Shakespeare would write one of his greatest plays, The Tragedy of Hamlet. While we don’t know how much his personal tragedy influenced the other, it seems highly unlikely that this was a coincidence in any way.
