Detailed explanation-1: -Shakespeare famously left his wife, Anne Hathaway, his ‘second best bed’.
Detailed explanation-2: -When William Shakespeare died he famously left his wife Anne only one thing: their ‘second best bed’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shakespeare left the bulk of his property to his two daughters: Susanna Hall, his first child, and Judith Quiney. He left money and clothes to his sister Joan Hart and her three sons (the name of the third son, Thomas, is left blank), and plate to his grand-daughter Elizabeth Hall, whom he refers to as his niece.
Detailed explanation-4: -He adopted the first-person possessive, “my second-best bed, ” because that established his authority to make the bequest, but he gave the bed no biography. Like any man of property, Shakespeare devoted most of his will to distributing lands and houses, not furniture or objects.
