Even though Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway there has always been a lot of questions in regards to his sexuality. Many scholars have analysed their relationship through documents and public records. There has been speculation that he had affairs with other women and also that he was bisexual. This is because a lot of his sonnets are love letters addressed to the 'Fair Lord' and which include words and phrases alluding to sexual desires with men. However, many people say that modern readers are just misinterpreting the sonnets as in those days it was fairly common to have close friends of the same gender and that living in a time where our thoughts and innocence is different to when Shakespeare wrote his work we are seeing what he said in a different light and are changing the original meanings.
