William Shakespeare

He haku mele a he haku hana keaka Pelekane ‘o Will-i-am Shakespeare (hānau 26 ‘Apelila 1564 – make 23 ‘Apelila 1616). ‘Ike ‘ia ‘o ia e nā po‘e i ka mea kākau nui loa ma ka ‘ōlelo Pelekania. Kāna mau hana e ola ai e maupa‘a: 38 hana keaka, 154 sonnets, ame kekahi mau mele. Kapa ‘ia ‘o Shakespeare kō Pelekania haku mele ame ka "Bard of Avon." Ua unuhi ‘ia kāna mau hana keaka ma nā ‘ōlelo ola nui a pau. 

Ua hānau ʻia ‘o Shakespeare ma Stratford-upon-Avon. Ke 18 ona makahiki, male ‘o ia iā Anne Hathaway, mai waena ma‘ekolu keiki kā lākou: Suzanna, Hamnet a me Judith.

Ma waena o nā makahiki 1585 a 1592, ho‘omaka ‘o ia he ‘oihana pono ma Lākana. Ma ‘ō, he mea hana keaka a he mea kākau ‘o ia. He ‘ona hapa ‘o ia o ka ‘ahahui-hana keaka, ‘o ia ho‘i, "Lord Chamberlain's Men" (loli ka inoa iā "King's Men"). Ua ho‘omaha loa ‘o Shakespeare iā Stratford ma ka makahiki 1613. Make ‘o ia ma hope aku o ‘ekolu makahiki. Kaka‘ikahi nā mo‘olelo o kō Spakespeare ola pilikino. Nui ka mana'o wale ‘ana o kāna mau hana a kāna mau mana‘o.

Hana ‘o Shakespeare i ka hapa nui o kāna mau hana i ‘ike ‘ia ai ma waena uinoīusa nā makahiki 1590 a 1613. Nui nā mo‘olelo ame nā mo‘olelo le‘ale‘a o kāna mau hana keaka mua. Ā laila, nui nā mea kaumaha loa ā ka makahiki 1608. I kēlā manawa, kākau ‘o ia iā Hamlet, King Lear ame Macbeth. 

Ua kākau ‘o ia ‘ekolu ‘ano hana keaka: nā mo‘olelo, nā mo‘olelo le‘ale‘a, a me nā mea kaumaha loa.
