Best Answer

Actually Shakespeare wrote very few stories. Most of his plays were written using stories other people had written. The stories he did write, like A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest, were often fairy stories. He also wrote The Merry Wives of Windsor, which is a bawdy farce.

What did William Shakespeare do that was important?

William Shakespeare wrote loads of plays, sonnets, ballads and poetry. Sonnets are sort of weird love poems. Ballads are miserable poems. Sonnets are poems written in a particular format, 16 lines from memory; they are not all love poems, whether weird or not. Ballads don't have to be miserable.

What motivated William Shakespeare to challenge his beliefs?

There is no reason to believe that Shakespeare "challenged his beliefs" in any way. His plays do not suggest that the official state religion was wrong, or that it might be a good idea to overthrow the queen, because to write that sort of thing would land you in the Clink (that was the actual name of the prison). Shakespeare never revealed what he actually thought about political or religious questions, because it would be too dangerous. Therefore we do not even know what his beliefs may have been.
