He improved gradually with each play he wrote until he reached his later middle period, when he wrote his great tragedies and dark comedies. His Henry VI Part 3 was successful enough to be parodied by Robert Greene in 1592. Titus Andronicus was a hugely successful play, so much so that it was the first Shakespeare play to be put into print, in 1594. The character of Falstaff, who appeared for the first time in Henry IV Part 1, was what made Shakespeare probably the most popular playwright at that time, which would be the late 1590s.
