Shakespeare wrote around 38 plays in his 52 years of life, out of which some can be spotted in the Doodle.

He was known as England's National Poet and also "Bard of Avon". Shakespeare composed most of his known work between 1589 and 1613. His initial plays were comedies and histories, and then he mainly wrote tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, are considered some of the finest works in the English language.

Shakespeare's work has made an impression on theatre and literature, giving way to some inspiring work and performances from later generations till date, which will always sustain.
