Shakespeare had many accomplisments in his life. Some say that he did not exist. But things that do exist are his plays and poems that he created over his lifetime. Shakespeare's plays and poems are very important because they are known around the world, and are also used as examples. There are three portfolios that shakespeare created, including plays like Macbeth and Hamlet, and poems as in Edward lll, or Two noble Kingsman. There was also the Henery series. Shakespeare worked in the playwrite company called Lord Chamberlin's men, later renamed the kings men. Many of his poems had different Generas, some were Elegeys, Tragedy, and love, along with his plays. Plays around his time were acted in the Globe Thearter, known commonly around the country. But before he could create all of his workings, he had to include very important parts into his plays and poems. for instance, poetic devices. Poetic devices are the inner workings in a play or poem, as in a simile of a metaphor. Shakespeare's most well known play is of course Romeo and Juilet. this is a tale of when two people that have families hate each other, fall in love and will do anything to stay together. In that and other plays he created, many famous quotations are used, also in Shakspeare's poems. Collective plays and poems were all split up into four catagories, Comedy, History, Tragedy, and Poetry. Since Shakespeare's plays and poems are known all around the world, they had a big influence on how people even live. From the poems and plays, he gained fame and fortune through his caerrier. Making him the best playwriter and poet the world has ever come to know.
