Shakespeare wrote plays because it was part of his job. A good play put bums on seats, which meant more money for the partners in the theatre company putting on the play (Shakespeare was one of them) as well as more money for the owners of the theatre building (Shakespeare was one of them also). All of Shakespeare's plays were written to make money for Shakespeare.
