Did Shakespeare get along with other playwrights of his day?
Shakespeare's relationships with other playwrights of his time were complex; he had both rivalries and friendships. He had notable competition with contemporaries like Ben Jonson, who admired Shakespeare's talent but also critiqued him. Despite this rivalry, there were moments of collaboration and mutual respect among playwrights in the vibrant theatrical community of London. Overall, Shakespeare's interactions reflected the competitive yet interconnected nature of the Elizabethan theater scene.

Was shakespeare friends with any other playwrights?
He certainly did. Most reports of him seem to indicate that he was a very nice fellow. Some of his associates in the theatre became good friends, particularly Hemminges and Condell, who not onoly brought out the first "complete works" but were also named in Shakespeare's will.
Was Shakespeare affected by censorship?
Yes, all playwrights had to watch out for the censor and in fact they always have to. In Shakespeare's day, you had to be very careful of two things: politics and religion. If you implied that the government ought to be overthrown, or that any religion other than the official one was the right one, you could find yourself in jail. Shakespeare was actually pretty good at avoiding the censors, but he did have to do it.

Foremost among these was Thomas Kyd, whose play The Spanish Tragedy was far and away the most popular play in English theatre during Shakespeare's entire career.
What language was Shakespeare supposed to know and speak in school?
Latin was the language which formed most of the curriculum in Shakespeare's day. The students spent most of their time translating Latin texts.
Did William Shakespeare face rejection as a playwright?
We cannot really tell, since we only have record of his successful work, the plays which were published after a long and profitable run in the theatres. During his early career, he may have faced rejection. But in fact the theatre world of the day allowed budding playwrights to apprentice along more established ones to improve their skills. Some think that Shakespeare may have done this with the playwright Greene. Playwrights did not usually show up at the door of a playing company with a script, which is a scenario ripe for rejection.
What plays from Christopher Marlow refer to as Shakespeare?
Christopher Marlowe was a famous English playwright who died in 1593 at about the same time as Shakespeare's first works came out. Some historians believe in the Marlovian theory, which suggests that Marlowe faked his death and began writing under the name William Shakespeare. However, most do not; Shakespeare was already writing before Marlowe's death and had a different style, and the coroner's records are quite clear that Marlowe died of a knife in the eye. Pretty hard to fake that. Shakespeare (like most theatre people of the day) was a Marlowe fan, and made occasional references to his work.
How did William Shakespeare live his life?
Like most people, one day at a time.
