Shakespeare contributed immensely to the Renaissance. During this era of philosophical and intellectual revolution, medieval authorities would castigate any person who outspokenly challenged conservative issues. For example, Giordiano Bruno was burned at the stake for challenging Ptolemaic (geocentric) models of the solar system.
In order to voice revolutionary issues, philosophers, writers, and artists would hide messages in the public media. Shakespeare hid his accolades for a Copernican helio-centric model in Hamlet, and also illustrated the struggles of a heir-less throne during the end of Elizabeth I's reign using Richard II as a medium.
Also, Shakespeare voiced the problems of current monarchies, geographical zealotry, and pre-renaissance patriarchy through his plays. HE WAS NOT JUST A GUY WHO WROTE SOME PLAYS. He was a revolutionary who disseminated the issues of the Renaissance through an entertaining medium.
