The effects of the black plague during
Shakespeare's life
The Black plague was a disease that swept through Europe during Shakespeare’s life. It was deadly and wiped out thousands of people.The plague is an infection resulting from the bite of an infected flee. The flees were often found on rats and mice and then affected when they came in contact. The disease killed many of Shakespeare’s friends relatives and his three sisters due to the plague. Even his son could not survive the plague. The black plague is mentioned in one of Shakespeare’s plays, Romeo and Juliet. During the outbursts of the black plague, his globe theatre and other places of Elizabethan entertainment were forced to close. This was thought to be a way to stop the spread of the disease.
Shakespeare was very lucky to avoid of the black plague. When he was a toddler, he was always in the fireplace room. This was one of the ways that he managed to avoid the black plague. The reason for this is because the flees would not come to the heat of the fire. This removed the cause of the disease and therefore, this is how he survived. This is why it is said that the great fire of London removed the black plague because it burnt the rats and removed the plague. The black plague missed Shakespeare narrowly. This has led to many teenagers suffering his poetry and plays. But some unlike me appreciate his legacy.
