Where did Shakespeare get his inspiration from?

Answer 1

Answer 1:He got his inspiration from the social scene of Elizabethan society. Moreover, he just made modifications and additions in the themes available in the past ages. Still, his art to form and create was phenomenal! Answer 2:Shakespeare did not get his inspiration from the world around him, as many of his contemporaries did. Plays like The Roaring Girl or The Knight of the Burning Pestle are hard to understand now because we do not understand all the topical jokes.

But Shakespeare took his stories from old French and Italian storybooks, English history, fantasy literature, and older plays, not current events. In those old stories he found and exploited types of human interaction which were "not for an age, but for all time." That is why his plays continue to be moving and exciting to this day to anyone prepared to do the mental work needed to understand his complex and dense dialogue.

Answer 2

Shakespeare drew inspiration for his work from various sources, including history, folklore, mythology, and other literary works. He was also influenced by the political and social climate of his time, as well as his personal experiences and observations of human behavior. Shakespeare's ability to blend these diverse influences into his plays and poems contributed to the depth and complexity of his work.

Answer 3

He wrote plays for a living. It was part of his job. He also wrote his long poems Venus and Adonis and Rape of Lucrece specifically so that he could have them printed and sell a lot of copies. The sonnets were another matter. He wrote them to give to his friends, and did not mean them to be published. Francis Meres in 1597 described Shakespeare's sonnets as "his sugred sonnets among his private friends."

Answer 4

William Shakepeare got most of his inspiration from Fairy Tales and folk stories. His only original play was A Midsummer Nights Dream.

Answer 5

Shakespeare actually got a lot of his ideas from other writers or from real life situations.

Answer 6

. Shakespeare's inspiration for the play was from the poem "the Tragical history of Romeus and Juliet". The name of the man that wrote the poem was Arthur Brooke.

Answer 7

I won't go into too much detail, but it had to do with what his mother and father were doing in the summer of 1563.
