William Shakespeare wrote many plays and incorporated many aspects of his life into each one of his works by using his experiences from his hometown and school, what he went through to make a difference in literature, and the way Shakespeare writes.

"Tradition assigns the date of Shakespeare's actual birth as April 23, 1564. This coincides with St. George's Day (St. George is the patron saint of England). Such a birth date also conveniently accords with Shakespeare's death 52 years later, on April 23, 1616." (Baker 2). Shakespeare phenomenally lived a course of 52 years devoting his life to literature. He was born around April 23, 1564 and if his parents followed the traditions of their religion, he would have been baptized three days after his birth, and conveniently died 52 years later around April 23, 1616.

"Shakespeare reinforced his imagery with the rhythm of his verse. He composed his plays largely in blank verse—that is, in lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter," (Lander 271). Shakespeare used iambic pentameter to have an equal amount of syllables in each verse. Although he composed his plays largely in blank verse, which is unrhymed iambic pentameter.

"Shakespeare was criticized for mixing comedy and tragedy and failing to observe the unities of time and place prescribed by the rules of classical drama," (Lagassel 18). William Shakespeare was criticized for being brave enough to mix two completely different types genre. For over the course of time, people have come to accept and appreciate his bravery for being different.

"Sometimes playwrights influence the shape and form of a theater, but more often existing theaters seem to influence the shape and form of plays," (Anderson 1). It was very common for the theater to influence the playwright. The author uses the theater as a guide to write it easily and for it to follow a steady flow when the play is being performed.

"It is important that we understand Shakespeare's theater because it influenced how he wrote his plays. Shakespeare took the theater of his time, and he used it brilliantly," (Anderson 1). Shakespeare wrote his plays according to the theater by the shape and form. He used its shape and form to create many odd, yet brilliant mix of genres of plays.
