Why did William shakespeare wear girl clothes?

Answer 1

Did he personally? Probably not. In his time, most female roles were played by young boys. So by the time he was writing, he likely would have been too old for that sort of thing.

But plenty of boys dressed up as girls to play Shakespearean parts. Juliet, Cordelia, Lady Macbeth, Ophelia, Desdemona - all played by boys dressed as girls.

Answer 2

They made him feel pretty and helped him to relax.

Answer 3

Men played the female roles because women weren't allowed to act in the theater at the time.

Answer 4

Because it was illegal to have actors appear naked on the stage.
