Because it wasn't stealing. Shakespeare borrowed plots, characters, sometimes even lines from books he had read because it was not considered to be wrong at that time. The notion that someone can own an idea and prevent anyone else from using it is a very very recent one, and did not exist even as recently as the early 20th century.
Nowadays few people still believe the old legend that Shakespeare was a poacher.
Shakespeare must have been a voracious reader, as he stole his plots from a wide variety of sources. His favourite source to steal from was probably Holinshed's Chronicle, a history and geography of Great Britain. Shakespeare used this not only for the history plays but also for Macbeth and King Lear.
In "The Shakespeare Stealer" by Gary Blackwood, the archetype of the "reluctant hero" is embodied by Widge, the protagonist. Initially a young boy trained to steal Shakespeare's play, he evolves through his experiences in the theater, grappling with loyalty, friendship, and self-discovery. Widge's journey reflects the classic hero's journey as he confronts challenges, ultimately finding his own voice and place in the world of theater.
In "The Shakespeare Stealer" by Gary Blackwood, the protagonist, Widge, gets his name from his ability to "widge" or steal things, particularly scripts. He was trained to use a shorthand method to copy plays, which is central to the plot. His name reflects his role as a thief of Shakespeare's works, highlighting his initial purpose and the theme of stealing art. As the story unfolds, Widge's character evolves beyond just being a thief.
Pretty tough. There was no social support for the poorest. You starved, and had to either beg or steal to get food. Shakespeare's portrayal of "Poor Tom" gives some idea of the situation of Bedlam beggars.

shakespeare is wicked because he portrays a world of optimism and hope and love in his writings which is in complete contrast to the bleak future and a life full of gloom and despair which the slum children lead. In frustration they try to snatch and steal what they can't have and thus end up criminals
