Probably not. Some people try to connect his son Hamnet with the play Hamlet, but there is no connection. His son was named for a neighbour, and Hamlet in the story was called Hamlet for centuries before Shakespeare was born. The coincidence of names is just that--a coincidence.

It can be noted that the period in which Shakespeare moved from writing comedies and the optimistic histories of Henry IV and Henry V to the dark comedies and great tragedies coincides with the time of Shakespeare's father's death, but that might be a coincidence too.

Was Shakespeare's family church Catholic or Protestant?

It depends on which family members you are talking about. Shakespeare's mother was from a family with strongly Catholic leanings, and a document (of disputed veracity) has been found in which his father confesses himself to be a secret Catholic. But on the other hand, Shakespeare's daughter was strongly Protestant and married a man with Puritan leanings. She was fined for not attending church, a failing both of Puritans and secret Catholics. Shakespeare himself, however, was a faithful church attender and never did anything which would put his status as a Church of England member (and thus a moderate Protestant) in any doubt.

Was William Shakespeare of black descent?

No, William Shakespeare was a Caucasian/White English man. This is shown in portraits, and verbal and written descriptions of him. AnswerAs Shakespeare did not come from a noble background no portraits or pictures of him, or any members of his family, were commissioned. Neither is there any evidence that Shakespeare commissioned his own portrait or pictures in his later, prosperous years. There is no evidence that a portrait or pictures were ever painted of him while he was alive, nor is there any written description of his physical appearance. Therefore, pictures and physical descriptions of him were made up at the makers' discretion. These makers were undoubtedly white. However, only a very extensive research would possibly unveil who the real Shakespeare was as far as physical appearance. ------ However, his background seems to indicate he was caucasian. There is no evidence provided to show anything but an Anglo-saxon heritage.

What disease did William Shakespeare go through?

We do not know of any diseases which Shakespeare suffered from. People have guessed, of course, that he suffered from one disease or another, but there is no real evidence on which to base an opinion. There were, of course, a number of diseases rampant at the time. There were periodic plague outbreaks which accounted for some members of Shakespeare's family, particularly his sister Anne and his brother Edmund. The disease which Shakespeare refers to more than any other in his plays is syphilis, which was a recently imported STD affecting a large number of people especially in the city, even members of the royal family.
