Shakespeare commonly employs a five-act structure in his plays, which organizes the narrative into exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. This classical structure allows for a comprehensive development of characters and themes, creating a dramatic arc that engages the audience. Additionally, he often uses iambic pentameter and various poetic forms, such as sonnets and blank verse, to enhance the lyrical quality of his dialogue. This combination of structural elements contributes to the depth and richness of his storytelling.

People did not say in 1616, "Thank heavens Shakespeare is dead so we don't have to perform his plays any more."
