4,539 wordsAlthough the precise date of many of Shakespeare? s plays is in doubt, his dramatic career is generally divided into four periods: (1) the period up to 1594, (2) the years from 1594 to 1600, (3) the years from 1600 to 1608, and (4) the period after 1608.

Jesus Christ One Man
452 wordsHow Christian was Seneca? Seneca was born 4 years before Jesus Christ, so it was probable that the eventual teacher of Nero was influenced by the words of Jesus Christ. His first point was about the crowds and the abhorrent gaming going on everywhere. Nothing stopped this crowd from yelling for more as they saw a man get ripped apart by a lion or two men battle to the death with swords and spears.
