Shakespeare faced many challenges during his road to excellency. Some of these hardships include the times in modern Europe, such as lack of funds, resources and the Bubonic Plague, also known as the Black Plague causes rapid deaths, taking the lives of many close to Shakespeare. Additionally, Shakespeare personally had to deal with the people that did not favor his works, and criticized his every move. A large majority of these people called his works "rubbish" and "a complete waste of time." Also, during these times, potential audiences would have to leave their work in the middle of the day to see a play, and the theater wasn't very clean so thus it could easily spread disease. Therefore, Shakespeare faced a lack of audiences not because of his writing ability, but because people feared leaving their jobs, and being hit by the plague.
