What were willliam Shakespeare's major accomplishments?

Answer 1

Shakespeare wrote over thirty plays, many of them among the world's best comedies, tragedies, histories, and tragicmedies. He wrote over 150 sonnets, many of which are considered the best in the English language. He was a partner in one of the most successful acting companies of his time and owned a share in two of the most successful playhouses of his day. He bought the second largest house in his hometown, and a suite of apartments (a condo) in the building housing one of those playhouses. He died rich and famous, and a true artist. That is a hard hat trick to pull off.
