How did Shakespeare writing plays that were performed affect his word choices?

∙ 7y ago
Shakespeare was aware of the breadth of his audiences, and liked to include things to entertain highbrows and lowbrows alike. However, at that time even lowbrows loved playing with words, inventing new words and making puns, so Shakespeare could use imaginative language and creative vocabulary for all parts of his audience. Clearly, when he gets into the more off-colour jokes, he is aiming at the groundlings, but these passages still use an astonishing breadth of vocabulary. Check out Falstaff for example. When he is aiming at the groundlings he uses less classical allusion, as many of them would not have attended grammar schools. Love's Labour's Lost is a play aimed at a higher-browed audience, and the type of wordplay is less earthy and more complex.

Did Hamnet Shakespeare's death affect William Shakespeare?
It probably did, but if so it was not reflected in the plays which Shakespeare was writing at the time of Hamnet's death, viz. around 1596. Shakespeare was very close about his feelings and did not tell everyone about them (of if he did, they did not make note of it).
How did history affect Shakespeare writing Macbeth?
Though Macbeth existed in history, Shakespeare was more interested in what kind of tragic character he could make of him, and altered historical facts for the sake of the drama.

How did the age of exploration affect shakespeare and his writing?
Not a lot, but he may have been influenced by tales of a ship called the Sea Venture shipwrecked in Bermuda when he wrote The Tempest.
How did Shakespeare's relationships affect his writing?
As far as we can tell (which is not much), Shakespeare's personal life had no effect whatsoever on his writing. Plays are an art form which rarely give any insight into the playwright, since there is not usually an omniscient narrator which represents the author's point of view, as in prose writing. Poetry can sometimes reveal something about the poet, but although Shakespeare's sonnets are written to various people, they do not really tell us much about Shakespeare's relationship with those people, which is why they are the basis for so much wild speculation. However little Shakespeare's personal life appears to have contributed to the content of his writing, his associates made his writing possible. He could not have published his poetry without noble patrons, nor could he have written the plays without the support of his theatre company.
