Since Shakespeare left no diaries, letters or similar papers which show what his private thoughts were like, we have very little idea. However we do know that he went to the trouble and expense to secure a coat of arms for his father, something his father had started but not followed up on. This entitled Shakespeare to call himself "gent." in the rigid and highly stratified social system of the time. He was a social climber; social status was obviously important to him.

How was William Shakespeare theatre destroyed?

If there was a theatre called "William Shakespeare Theatre", you will have to be a little more specific. Was there such a theatre built in Akron, Ohio in the 1930s? Or in Calcutta in the 1890s? If the theatre you are talking about is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre", it is still standing, having been built in 1997. If the theatre you are talking about is the Blackfriars Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted and held a small share, it was demolished in 1655. If the theatre you are talking about is the First Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare also acted and held a small share, it burned down on June 29, 1613. If the theatre you are talking about is the Second Globe Theatre, which was built to replace the first one in 1614, and which might have had nothing to do with Shakespeare, it was torn down in 1644.
