Between 1564 and 1616, William Shakespeare lived and raved as a poet, playwright, and actor in Stratford upon Avon. When Shakespeare was alive, cars were not yet invented. Although Shakespeare did not have a car, we can image what he would drive based on different aspects such as wealth, distance traveled, and social status. I believe that Shakespeare would drive a red 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE.
I believe that Shakespeare would drive a 1962 Ferrari based on his wealth. When Shakespeare was growing up he did not have a lot of money. However, as he began to age and his acting/writing career began to take off he grew more and more wealthy. Marilee Hanson said that “Shakespeare was not poor, but he was not wealthy either. In his middle age, he was comfortably well off. He was able to purchase the second largest house in Stratford in 1597, and also owned property in London.” (Hanson, 1). Seeing that Shakespeare was well off when he was alive makes it clear that he would have the money to buy a more experienced car. Also since he owned property in london

and had the second largest house in his hometown makes it seem like he has the type of personality of wanting to show off his wealth. Because he owns the second largest house makes me believe that the 1962 Ferrari would be a good car for Shakespeare because it is more costly and rare, which resembles his wealth and personality. Another reason why Shakespeare would drive a 1962 Ferrari is because of how far he would have to drive to work everyday.
According to the A&E Network Television’s biography of William Shakespeare, “It is believed that Shakespeare spent most of his time in the city writing and acting and came home once a year during the 40-day Lenten period, when the theaters were closed. (A&E Network Television, 1). Back then Shakespeare would not have driven that many miles everyday due to the fact that he would only come home for a short period of when the theater was closed. Because Shakespeare wouldn’t of drove many miles he would not need a car that had good gas milage. The 1962 Ferrari would be a good fit for him because the car gets 13.8 miles per hour (Powel, 1). So when he would travel home, the amount of gas he would need would not break the bank. Also, he would have an affordable car for driving back and forth to the
theaters. Also the 1962 Ferrari would be a great choice for Shakespeare because of his social status. Shakespeare did not have much money in the earlier years of his life; However, as his career progressed and he became more known is social status changed. According to Joshua Engel, “[Shakespeare] was wealthy enough to afford a coat of arms and a ceremonial sword, which entitled him to be called a "gentleman". That alone had cost him 15 pounds.”(Engel, 1). Sense Shakespeare was a considered a gentleman, this meant that he did not work with his hands and was associated with the knights, squires, gentlewomen. He was not as high in the social setting as the queen but he was the step right below that. This means that Shakespeare lived a lavish life, and liked to show that off too. Shakespeare was not born noble but he became a gentleman through wealth and owning property. The 1962 Ferrari would be a great choice for Shakespeare to drive because it would be a great way to work up the social ladder and to show off his fortune that he has made through his acting career.
They didn't have cell phones or socail media to keep them entertained. In fact, the article titiled "Shakespeare: Not of an Age , but for All Mankind" by Douglas A. Burger says," That hard- headed capitalists and officals would be willing, even egar, to invest in the project shows that Shakespeare is a good buisness." This shows that they made a lot of money off of plays because that was the entertainment they got, and obviously enjoyed.
Travelling across the country in an old Ford Model T would never be easy; but, traveling in a Model T on a bumpy dirt road with ruts and holes, almost unbearable. Thankfully, many advances in America’s roadway systems came about in the 1900s. Traveling from one city to another became not only quicker and easier, but also safer, thanks to the many innovations that roadways experienced over the last century. Many engineers put in a lot of time and effort to make these innovations and need to be accredited for their scientific achievements. However, getting to the roadway system that we take for granted today did not happen overnight. It took new technology and some brilliant minds to bring the pieces together to form the luxury of nice, smooth

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford on Avon, England, in April of 1564 to Mary and John Shakespeare. He was the third child and the eldest son. His father was a tanner, glove-maker, and trader in wool and other precious commodities. William attended the Stratford Grammar school where he studied and received substantial training in Latin. He was married on November 27, 1582, to a woman named Anne Hathaway, who was eight years older than he was. In May of 1583, the couple's first daughter, Susanna was born.

Shakespeare grew up in a family that was considered part of the middle class during the time period in which he lived. His father, John Shakespeare came from a family of farmers. This influenced his father in his work ethic. Growing up with a family of farmers made him a diligent and preserving man (Cousins 18). In his lifetime he held a variety of jobs that made him quite the entrepreneur, “he became a successful glover, landowner, moneylender, and dealer in wool and other agricultural goods” (Greenblatt 42). According to Gewirtz, in Shakespeare’s hometown his father was well known by all the inhabitants, “and in fact at one time held the office corresponding to that of a modern mayor” (5). Lastly, Shakespeare’s mother’s side of the family also earned their living by tending the land that was in close proximity to Stratford called Wilmcote (Bate and Thornton 55). Both sides of his family were alike not only in how they earned their livings but also through the common element of being overall conservative in their lives.
William Shakespeare’s intellectual use of the English language is what brought him prosperity throughout his lifetime, and what brings us to tears and laughter in the modern world.
