During his lifetime, Shakespeare was very successful as a writer. This was mainly because of his genius. He knew how to write about life, and he had a wonderful way with words. But Shakespeare’s success was also due to the special time in which he lived. In those days, the English were very interested in new ideas. They loved music, art, plays and poetry.
