Some were based on historical events- such as Julius Caesar, Roman emperor that he was, and the Scottish War-Lord Macbeth. arguably Hamlet is an historical tragedy with some fictionalization. ( several actresses have essayed the title role- amogn them Sarah Bernhardt and Dame Judith Anderson- as Jerry Lewis once intoned when he had her on The Tonight Show ( acting as substitute MC)- Happy Hamlet! with regards to her role in the Play. Some of Shakespeare is straight out fiction or fantasy.
