Shakespeare’s sonnet 18-Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Shakespeare in Love-Shakespeare in Love is a 1998 British-American romantic comedy-drama film directed by John Madden, written by Marc Norman and playwright Tom Stoppard. The film depicts an imaginary love affair involving Viola de Lesseps and playwright William Shakespeare while he was writing Romeo and Juliet. Several characters are based on historical figures, and many of the characters, lines, and plot devices allude to Shakespeare's plays.

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus- The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus, is an Elizabethan tragedy by Christopher Marlowe, based on German stories about the title character Faust, that was first performed sometime between 1588 and Marlowe's death in 1593. Two different versions of the play were published in the Jacobean era, several years later.

Marlowe-Christopher Marlowe, also known as Kit Marlowe (1564-1593), was an English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era. Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan tragedian of his day. He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe's mysterious early death. Marlowe's plays are known for the use of blank verse* and their overreaching protagonists.

*Blank verse is poetry written with regular metrical but unrhymed lines, almost always in iambic pentameter. It has been described as "probably the most common and influential form that English poetry has taken since the 16th century", and Paul Fussell has estimated that "about three-quarters of all English poetry is in blank verse".

If a picture paints a thousand words

Then why can't I paint you?

The words will never show

that you I've come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships

Then where am I to go? (from the famous sentence: Was that the woman that launched a thousand ship and burnt the topless of Ilium?)

There's no one home but you

You're all that's left me too
