Hey, a fellow's entitled to retire, isn't he? Shakespeare was almost fifty, and had been a playwright for over twenty years. He had trained a replacement to take over for him as house playwright for the King's Men. He had made enough money that he didn't need to work. Besides, his health may not have been so good, since he died only three years later (although we don't know what he died of). All of this made retirement look like a great option for him in 1613.

What happened and when was it when shakespeare got his litearey career during Queen EKizabeth's region?
I'm not sure you know what you are asking or what a literary career is. A literary career is not a kind of disease you catch; it is a lifetime of writing, and only stops when you stop writing. Shakespeare began writing in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, although we do not know exactly when or what prompted him to do it. Very possibly he had started acting and had written a poem or two which gave him the idea that he might write plays too and make some extra cash. This would prove helpful to a man who was trying to support a wife and three small children. His early plays (which he may have written with the help of an older and more experienced playwright) were well-enough received that he was encouraged to write more, and he continued writing them long after Queen Elizabeth was dead.

What did Shakespeare think of romeo and Juliet?
We don't know. Shakespeare left no diaries, blogs or other outpourings of his personal views on any subject. We have no idea what he "thought about" any of the characters in his plays, or about any of his plays.It doesn't matter. Even if we knew what Shakespeare thought of the characters in the story it would not help us understand the story in the least. Nor would it be of any help to know which of his plays Shakespeare thought was the best. If he said his favourite play was Troilus and Cressida do you think people would stop wanting to watch, talk about and quote from Romeo and Juliet? Of course not.
