Shakespeare quit school at 14-15.
He most likely left school at that age, though it was not uncommon in those days. It is not known what he did after quitting school.
Shakespeare couldn’t spell
Spelling was not part of lessons and everyone spelled words how they wanted. Shakespeare even spelled his name in a number of different ways, including:
Willm Shakp, William Shaksper, Wm Shakspe, William Shakspere and Willm Shakspere!
He was a clever businessman
He co-owned his theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, and the Globe, an outside theatre built in London in 1599. He even opened up a second theatre, a posh indoor one called Blackfriars.
Rude insults were his specialty
Here are a few examples;
“Thine face is not worth sunburning.“
“Thou art as fat as butter.“
“You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! I’ll tickle your catastrophe!“
