Some say Shakespeare plagiarised another play called 'Ur-Hamlet'. Also Shakespeare may have been driven by the demised of his eleven year old son. Hamnet. Who was Shakespeare's only male child and his untimely passing away at such a young age. Left the father in a state of despair and in this moment he had the idea of writing Hamlet.]]> 2017-12-06 22:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/daneiegeddes/uqqf30f5hvpq/wish/213938241 tema_whatham https://padlet.com/daneiegeddes/uqqf30f5hvpq/wish/213939896 Tempest was the last play written entirely by Shakespeare and also was the only play that didn't have an original source as he created the whole play. the prime themes demonstrated in Tempest are forgiveness and repentance.
