Was Shakespeare immediately successful at play writing?

Some of Shakespeare's early plays were very successful, particularly the Henry VI plays and Titus Andronicus. He may have written some clunkers before that which we don't know about, so it is difficult to say that he was immediately successful.


Did Hamnet's death effect Shakespeare's career?

Hamnet was Shakespeare's son, and it affected Shakespeare financially, although I'm not exactly sure how. William Shakespeare was terrified of the plague because he lost a lot of his brothers and sisters to it during the first major outbreak of the Bubonic plague. This is what Shakespeare's only son, Hamnet, died from, so you can imagine his devastation. Also...affect with an 'a' is a verb, effect with an 'e' is a noun. (Cause and effect, This affects that)

How did William Shakespeare became successful in life?

The short answer is no-one really knows. Very little is known about Shakespeare's early life and after the record of his Christening and his attending school in Stratford he pops up in London as an adult, already a successful playwright. People can only speculate about why he moved to London, how he entered the theatre and how he started to earn a living as a playwright.This isn't particular unusual - in fact more is known about Shakespeare than most other people of that period.What is consistently true about very successful people is a combination of talent, hard work and luck. So it is likely that Shakespeare had talent and luck as well as working hard.This entertained: also amused people... they started enjoying his plays and he became more popular! He knew people loved them and continued writing them; as people enjoyed them he became more and more....SUCCESSFUL!
