The quote comes from Shakespeare's Cymbeline, 1623 (3.3.107) 'Euriphile, Thou wast their nurse; they took thee for their mother,
And every day do honour to her grave:
Myself, Belarius, that am Morgan call'd,
They take for natural father. The game is up.'

How do you know that a tragedy is a problem play not a revenge play or Shakespeare's tragedy?
A play could be all three. Hamlet, a tragedy by Shakespeare, and also a revenge play, is thought by some to be a "problem play" because it does not fit their definition in some way. And that is what makes people call plays "problem plays"--they have decided that plays have to follow certain rules which they made up, and when Shakespeare doesn't follow their rules it's a "problem". The only rules Shakespeare went by were: the people must like it and the government must tolerate it.
Did William shakespeare die before finishing any of his plays?
The only unfinished Shakespeare play may be Sir Thomas More, a play thought to be a collaboration between a number of different playwrights including Shakespeare.

However, Shakespeare retired from playwriting three years before his death so he had no current projects going at the time he died.
