But Shakespeare was not a talented actor, so he quit acting to write plays instead. Many of his plays were performed in the Globe, a new theatre in London. The rulers of England during his life were Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. Both of them really liked going to the theatre, so Shakespeare received lots of money for his plays. Shakespeare wrote 38 plays. He wrote both comedies and tragedies. His comedies, like A Midsummer Night’s Dream, had happy endings, and his tragedies, like Romeo and Juliet, had sad endings. He also wrote plays about kings and queens from history like Julius Caesar and Henry V. Both rich and poor people in London loved Shakespeare’s plays. In 1613 the Globe Theatre burned down, so Shakespeare decided to retire. He went back to his hometown in Stratford-upon-Avon and died in 1616. He was only 52. 𝟏) 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆. 𝟐) 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑱𝒖𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒖𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝟑) 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒆’𝒔 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚. 𝟒) 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒆.
