William Shakespeare was an English playwright and poet who lived in London in the 16th century. He wrote a number of plays and became very famous years after his death.
==In Darwin's Soldiers==
A Shakespeare clone was among the experiments created by Werner Donitz. It was stored in the sublevels after appearing to have no powers. The clone wrote at least one play before being destroyed by Cale. (Darwin's Soldiers) Subsequently, it discovered its power was to remain as an incorporeal spirit after death, though it kept this fact to itself for many years until Sophie Donitz visited Pelvanida. (Next of Kin)
A copy of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare was brought by Werner on the voyage through the Einstein-Rosen Bridge in March 2009. The copy was brought to Gaman by James Zanasiu and became the basis for the Gamanian culture's morals and society, though only the Sapaar believe that Shakespeare wrote them. (Card of Ten)
Aisha Tennes quoted Act 1 Scene 3 of Hamlet, one of his plays, in September 2009. (Disruptive Selection)
==Effect on Gaman==
Because Werner's book of Shakespeare plays was the earliest literature of the Gaman society, it had a profound impact on the culture's evolution. Not only did the kingdom have a Victorian decor and architecture to it, many of the names of the characters (specifically Hamat, Falsta, Brut, Jacade, Jesyca, Aron, and Trano) were taken from Shakespeare, though warped through the passage of time.
