Other romances include Sophie Auster, daughter of physicist Hans Auster, Louis Collin, youngest daughter of his patron Jonas Colin, and famous opera soprano Jenny Lind.

One of Hans Christian Andersen's most famous fairy tales, "The Night Hawk", was an expression of her affection for Jenny Lind, and this story inspired her nickname "The Swedish Hawk". Hans Christian Andersen was too shy to socialize with women, so he was slow to propose to her, and when Linde boarded a train to an opera house, he finally mustered up the courage to hand her a proposal. However, Linde's affection for Hans Christian Andersen was not like this, and she regarded him more as a brother, and wrote to him in 1844:

"Farewell, God bless my brother, this is the sincere blessing of his beloved sister. ”

Hans Christian Andersen was not only unrequited in love with women, but also in unrequited love with men. For example, Andersen wrote to Edward Colin: "I am infatuated with you as I am with a Calabrian girl, and I feel to you as I am with a woman. The femininity of my nature and our friendship must be kept secret. 」

Colin, who is heterosexual, wrote in his diary: "I found myself unable to respond to his love, which made me uncomfortable. Similarly, his love affair with the Danish dancer and the young hereditary duke of Weimar Eisenach in Saxony was unsuccessful.

In recent years, some literary studies have found homosexual innuendo in Andersen's work.

In the spring of 1872, Andersen fell from his bed and was seriously injured, never fully recovered. On August 4, 1875, Andersen died in a house called Rolighed (meaning "peace") near Copenhagen. His remains were buried in the Assistens cemetery in Copenhagen.

At the time of his death, Andersen was already well-known in the world. He is known as Denmark's "National Treasure". Regular allowances from the Danish Government. Even before his death, preparations were already being made to erect a large statue of him. The statue is now erected in a prominent position in the gardens of Rosenburg Palace (Kongens Have) in Copenhagen.

One of the guardians of the Devil, Shakespeare

William and William, Shakespeare, (1564-1616, often known as Shakespeare in Chinese society; Lu Xun called Shakespeare in Moro poetry in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China)

He is the most outstanding dramatist in the history of English literature, one of the most outstanding writers in the history of Western literature and art, and one of the most outstanding writers in the world.

His surviving works include 38 plays, 155 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and other poems. His plays have been translated into all major languages and have been performed far more than any other dramatist.

Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon and married Anne Hathaway at the age of 18.

For more than 20 years from the late 16th century to the early 17th century, Shakespeare began a successful career in London, not only as an actor and playwright, but also as a partner in the Cabinet Ministers' Company. It was later renamed the King's Theatre Company.

Around 1613. Shakespeare retired to Stratford-upon-Avon, where he died three years later. Records of Shakespeare's private life have survived, and the question of his sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether his writings were written by someone else remains a mystery, with some believing him to be Queen Elizabeth I.

The period from 1590 to 1613 was the golden age of Shakespeare's creation. His early plays were mainly comedies and historical dramas. It reached its peak of depth and artistry at the end of the 16th century.

Then, by 1608, he mainly wrote tragedies. Shakespeare admired noble sentiments. Often depicting sacrifice and revenge, including Othello, Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, it is considered to be the best example of the English language.

In the last stage of his life. He began writing tragicomedies, also known as legendary plays, and collaborated with other playwrights. During his lifetime, many of his works were published in multiple editions, varying in quality and accuracy.

In 1623, two of his colleagues from the troupe published the First Folio, which, in addition to two works, includes all but two of Shakespeare's works that are now recognized.

Shakespeare was revered as a poet and playwright during his lifetime, but it wasn't until the 19th century that his fame reached its current height. In the 20th century, its fame spread to Asia, Africa and Latin America, so that more people could understand its fame.

The Romantic period celebrated Shakespeare's talent, and the Victorians revered him like a hero, which George Bernard Shaw called Shakespeare cult.

In the 20th century, his works were often adapted and rediscovered by the New Academic Movement. His works remain popular today, performing and interpreting in different cultural and political formats around the world.

Shakespeare's father, John Shakespeare, was a well-to-do glove merchant and city senator whose ancestral home was Snitfield, and his mother, Mary Arden, was the daughter of a wealthy landowner.

Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. Shakespeare was educated at King's School in Stratford-upon-Avon, a free school founded in 1553 a quarter of a mile from his home.

Elizabethan lower secondary schools were of varying quality, but the curriculum was prescribed by law throughout England, and schools offered intensive education in Latin and classical literature.

At the age of 18, Shakespeare married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway, and the Ecclesiastical Court of the Diocese of Worcester issued a marriage certificate on November 27, 1582. The next day, the two Hathaway neighbors sponsored the marriage without any obstacles.

The couple may have arranged the ceremony in a hurry, as Judge Worcester allowed the marriage notice to be announced only once, but usually three. Hathaway, who was already pregnant with Shakespeare's child at the time, may have been in a hurry.

Six months after the marriage, daughter Suzanne Shakespeare was born. Two years later, his dragon and phoenix twin sons were baptized on February 2, 1585.

After the birth of the twins, there are very few historical records of Shakespeare until his appearance in the London theatre company in the 1592s. Because of this lack of time, some scholars refer to the period from 1585 to 1592 as Shakespeare's "years of mystery."

The biographer tries to illustrate his experiences during this period, describing many fictional stories. In the 18th century, Shakespeare became a theatre partner in London, thus beginning his theatrical career.

John Aubrey described Shakespeare as a village headmaster. Some 20th-century scholars have suggested that Shakespeare may have been hired as headmaster by Alexander Horton of Lancashire, a Catholic landowner who mentioned a certain "William Shakespeare" in his will. There is no evidence to confirm how these stories differ from some of the rumors that followed his death.

The exact date of Shakespeare's compilation remains a mystery, but clues and records of performances from the same period suggest that several of his plays had been performed on the London stage by 1592. He was already well-known in London by then, and the playwright Robert Green wrote an article attacking him:

There was a crow who glorified the arrogant and conceited crush with our feathers, whose "performer's appearance was wrapped in the heart of a tiger," who thought himself capable of being as good as the best among you in lining an unrhymed line, and who was a handyman who did everything, and who conceited himself to be the only "stage-shaker" in the whole country. ”

Scholars disagree on the exact meaning of these comments, but most agree that Greene made fun of Shakespeare's efforts to achieve a higher status than he deserves in terms of college-educated writers such as Christoph Marlowe, Thomas Nash and Greene himself.

"The performer is wrapped in a tiger's heart" is a parody of Shakespeare's line in Henry VI Part III, "A woman's appearance is wrapped in a tiger's heart". The pun "The Shaker of the Stage" alludes to Shakespeare's name, the object of Green's attack, "The Shaker of the Spear". (To be continued......)
