He did not. William Shakespeare did not write novels. They were an unknown form in his day. Shakespeare wrote plays which is a totally different literary form. The plots for his plays were almost all taken from stories or history books or biographies he had read or plays by other people which he had seen. He made changes in these plots but he started out with a story he got from somewhere else.
== ==Many plot lines are based on Shakespeare's plays. For example, the plot of West Side Story is a lot like Romeo and Juliet, and the plot of The Lion King is a lot like Hamlet.
Some people have suggested that Shakespeare's Macbeth was connected with the Gunpowder Plot. It was certainly written at about that time and contains a reference to the "Great Equivocator," Henry Garnet.
He wanted to add suspense to the developing plot.
William Shakespeare was in many of his plays as characters with smaller speaking roles but quite important to the plot for example he played the ghost of the old king hamlet in Hamlet and he played Malcom in Macbeth sometimes.
Macbeth's references to "equivocators" could be a reference to the defences put up by those accused in the Gunpowder Plot, which they specifically called "equivocating".
There is no historical evidence to suggest that William Shakespeare knew Guy Fawkes personally. Shakespeare was active in London during the early 1600s, while the Gunpowder Plot, in which Fawkes was involved, took place in 1605. However, it is possible that Shakespeare was aware of Fawkes' actions, as the plot garnered significant public attention and became a topic of discussion in the years following the event.
William Shakespeare influenced all of the drama which followed him by setting a higher standard for character development, pacing, dramatic structure and plot. Although the lines Shakespeare wrote for his characters are amazingly potent, and most actors want to be able to say them, their style did not affect later playwrights significantly.

Shakespeare was a writer, not a story. People do not have plots.
Mrs Page and Mrs Ford are characters in William Shakespeare's play "The Merry Wives of Windsor." They are both married women who are friends and central figures in the play's plot, as they become the target of Falstaff's attempts at seduction. They ultimately outsmart Falstaff and teach him a lesson.
No. That was the plot of the movie Shakespeare in Love. In fact the story of Romeo and Juliet was much older than Shakespeare, and it would be just as ridiculous for someone in Shakespeare's day to have claimed it was about them as it would for someone today to do so. "I've written a story about Romeo and Juliet in 2013 and it's based on my life experiences." Sure it is.
Shakespeare was following the traditions of English Drama of his day as set by his contemporaries Thomas Kyd and Christopher Marlowe. He also wrote one play based in its structure as well as its plot on a Roman play. Roman literature, which was the staple of Shakespeare's education, had a profound effect on the way in which Shakespeare structured his sentences and his characters' speeches.
