Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men.

but soon realized his friend could not pay the money back to Shylock on time. Bassanio returned to Venice as fast as he could and attended a trial. The reason why Antonio isn't able to pay is because his ships were caught in storm. Portia, pretending to be a young lawyer, claimed that the proposition said " 1 pound of flesh" not " 1 pound of flesh and blood" and said that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible.
