Dramaturgy 
Most playwrights of the time wrote their works in collaboration with other 
authors, and critics believe that Shakespeare also wrote some of his plays in 
collaboration with other authors; this applies mainly to early and late works. For 
some works, such as "Tit Andronik" and early historical plays, it has not been 
established that they were written in clear collaboration, while for the Play "Two 
Noble cousins" and The Lost play "Cárdenio" this has been documented.

Information from the texts also indicates that some works were processed by other 
writers in relation to the original text. 
Some of Shakespeare's earliest works are three pieces by Richard III and Henry 
VI, written in the early 1590s, when historical drama was in fashion. 
The date of Shakespeare's plays 
is difficult to ascertain, but textualists 
believe that" Tit Andronikus", "the 
comedy of errors", "the appliqué of 
the wise" and "the two veronians" also 
refer 
to 
the 
beginning 
of 
Shakespeare's work. His first annals, 
most likely based on the 1587 edition 
of Raphael Holinshed's annals of 
England, 
Scotland 
and 
Ireland, 
represented the disastrous results of weak and corrupt rulers, and to some extent 
served to justify the rise of the Tudor dynasty. Shakespeare's early plays were 
influenced by the work of other playwrights of the Elizabethan era, notably Thomas 
Kidd and Christopher Marlowe, the tradition of medieval drama, and the Seneca 
play. "Comedy of errors "was also built on a classical model, with no source found 
to" support Shrew"., although it is associated with another play of a similar name, 
which played in London theatres in the 1590s, and may have folkloric roots. 
In the mid-1590s, Shakespeare switched from mocking and Persian comedies 
to romantic works. The dream of a summer night is a wonderful mixture of romance, 
fairy-tale magic and low-society life. Shakespeare's next, also romantic, comedic, 
"The Venetian merchant" includes a portrait of the vengeful Jewish lombard Shilok, 
featuring the racial prejudices of the English Under Elizabeth. In the humorous 
play" a lot of ada about nothing", life in the provinces is beautifully depicted. ” As 
you like it “ and ” Twelfth Night " will complement the live Jody-comedy series. 
After the lyric "Richard II", written almost entirely in verse, Shakespeare

incorporated prose comedy into his Annals of Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, and Henry 
V. His characters are more complex and gentle, he alternates very skillfully between 
comic and serious scenes, prose and poetry, so his mature work reaches a narrative 
color, a period that began and ended with tragedies: Romeo and Juliet, a famous 
story about the love and death of a girl and a guy, and Julius Caesar, based on 
Plutarch's work “comparative life”. 
In the early 17th century, Shakespeare wrote several "troublesome plays": 
"measure for Measure", "Troilus and Cressida", and "ends in goodness", as well as 
a number of the most famous tragedies. Many critics believe that the tragedies of 
this period represent the peak of Shakespeare's work. The protagonist of one of 
Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, Hamlet, is perhaps the playwright's most 
sought-after character; This is especially true of the famous soliloquy, which begins 
as" to be or not to be, this question", unlike the Introvert Hamlet, the hesitant hero, 
the heroes of subsequent tragedies King Lear and Othello suffer from making very 
hasty decisions. Often Shakespeare's tragedy is based on the shortcomings or 
destructive actions of the heroes who destroyed him and his loved ones. In Othello, 
The Evil Iago raises the protagonist's jealousy to the point of killing his innocent 
wife. In "King Lear", the old King renounces his right to rule and makes a fatal 
mistake, leading to horrific events such as the murder of Lear's youngest daughter 
Cordelia. In" Macbeth", Shakespeare's shortest and most compactly tragic, 
uncontrolled ambition prompts Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth to plot an 
assassination attempt on the rightful king and take the throne, and is ultimately killed 
as he realizes his guilt. Shakespeare adds an element of eccentricity to the tragic 
structure in this work. His last major tragedies, Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolan, 
include some of his best poetry by some critics.
