Answer 3

Shakespeare created poetry and plays. With the plays he did not write the stories, but he wrote dialogue for the characters to say which defines what kind of characters they are and how they deal with the situations they are in. It is Shakespeare's use of the language which he puts into his characters' mouths which makes him justly famous.

Answer 4

It really depends on what you think the Renaissance was all about. One of its main characteristics was the revival of Roman and Greek forms and ideals. Although Shakespeare did sometimes use classical sources (for plays like Julius Caesar, The Comedy of Errors, or Antony and Cleopatra) neither his plays nor his poems reflect a classical outlook. Later Classicists hated Shakespeare and kept on trying to revise what he wrote so it would be more classical. It was the Romantics who really picked up on Shakespeare, because he was so un-classical. He didn't exemplify the ideals of the Renaissance at all.
