ode to nightingale

 The nightingale described experiences a type of death but does not actually die. Instead, the songbird is capable of living through its song, which is a fate that humans cannot expect. The poem ends with an acceptance that pleasure cannot last and that death is an inevitable part of life.

Black Death

Shakespeare lived in the Elizabethan Era. The Bubonic Plague, a.k.a Black Death, was highly contagious. Shakespeare is said to have had a terrible fear of the deadly disease. This is hardly surprising as it touched so many areas of his life, including his life as an actor .
