William Shakespeare made modifications to the actual events in history to suit the limitations of the stage. Stage was his living. Many events in history can not be acted as such on stage. Limitations of space on the stage and limitations of tastes of the paying spectators had to be considered. Moreover aesthetic beauty of the play to be acted on a stage also had to be accommodated. Most of his creations were once considered not as books to be read but plays to be acted on stage. But now, exactly as Thomas Hardy predicted in England, his plays have ceased to be acted on stage, and begun to be read and studied as literary creations. Shakespeare also did certainly wish for this, but in his times he could not restraint himself from the stage as it provided his daily bread. Whatever modifications have he made to actual events in history in each of his play is an elaborate subject of study which needs special attention.
