April 23 – THIS DAY IN HISTORY | Shakespeare & The Question That Echoes Forever | PENSACOLA X™

April 23rd marks a day of legendary echoes — in art, innovation, and immortality.
From the birth (and death) of William Shakespeare to the first video ever uploaded to YouTube, this day in history represents creative revolutions that shaped both literature and the digital age.

In a candlelit chamber in 1600, Shakespeare penned one of the most famous lines in literary history:
“To be, or not to be, that is the question…”
These words first appeared in Hamlet, Act III, Scene I — a soliloquy in which Prince Hamlet contemplates life, death, and the weight of human suffering. Spoken not to others, but to himself, Hamlet’s monologue reveals the raw introspection of a man caught between action and inaction, existence and oblivion.
The phrase has endured for centuries because it gives voice to the universal dilemma of what it means to live — and why it sometimes hurts to.

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), born in Stratford-upon-Avon, is widely regarded as the most influential writer in the English language. His 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and poetic works have shaped Western literature, theater, and storytelling for more than 400 years.

Shakespeare’s works explore love, betrayal, ambition, politics, and the human condition — with lines and characters that still echo in classrooms, theaters, and hearts across the globe.
