Basically William Shakespeare was a poet who thought in dramatic terms. Even his plays were 99.99% poems and songs. He loathed the strenuous labour of putting plays on stage after the majesty of writing them. But to win his bread he had no other way. He always dreamed of his plays being read and studied as major literary works, rather than being acted on stage to win momentary applause and sustenance money.
