The only evidence of Shakespeare's fellow actors' reactions comes from the preface to his collected plays in the First Folio, which his friends had paid the publishing costs of. The dedications include elegies from Ben Johnson praising Shakespeare a a poet and as a person.

How does Shakespeare illustrates his views on the power of women?

Shakespeare was not relating opinions, but reflecting reality. There are some very powerful women, and Shakespearean characters like Rosalind, Viola, Goneril, Cleopatra, Mrs. Ford, Beatrice and Lady Macbeth reflect how women can use their power. Some women, and some Shakespearean characters, are much less powerful than others. That is not a point of view. That is how it is.


Did shakespeare know of aristotles views on drama?

Possibly not, since he did not study much Greek in school. In any case, he did not care about the Aristotelian views and did not apply them to his plays. Only the plays The Comedy of Errors and The Tempest seem to comply with them.


What was Shakespeare's attitude?

This is a difficult question. It's very like asking about Shakespeare's personality, about which we know nothing. Did Shakespeare reveal his personal views in his plays? Certainly not. We cannot conclude that Shakespeare was a vampire because he has Hamlet say, "Now I could drink hot blood". The fact that Shakespeare was able to create such a broad variety of plausible characters does show that he had tolerance of and empathy for all kinds of different people.


What did Shakespeare think of romeo and Juliet?

We don't know. Shakespeare left no diaries, blogs or other outpourings of his personal views on any subject. We have no idea what he "thought about" any of the characters in his plays, or about any of his plays.It doesn't matter. Even if we knew what Shakespeare thought of the characters in the story it would not help us understand the story in the least. Nor would it be of any help to know which of his plays Shakespeare thought was the best. If he said his favourite play was Troilus and Cressida do you think people would stop wanting to watch, talk about and quote from Romeo and Juliet? Of course not.


Is William Shakespeare religious or secular?

William Shakespeare's works reflect a complex interplay of religious and secular themes. While he often incorporates Christian elements, moral questions, and references to biblical texts, his plays also explore humanism, individualism, and the complexities of human nature, suggesting a more secular perspective. Ultimately, Shakespeare's writings can be interpreted as both religious and secular, reflecting the diverse beliefs of his time and his own nuanced views.
