Bums on seats. If you produce boring plays, nobody will buy tickets, and the show loses money. If the show loses money, everybody starves. Exciting plays pack in the audience, the show is a success and everybody eats.
because he wanted a lot of people to come and watch him
Shakespeare wrote all of his plays for the same reason--to make money. It was his job.
A lot of people are very interested in Shakespeare's personal life--who he married, who his kids were, and his parents, and where he lived. We can give answers to all of these kinds of questions pretty easily. It is not so easy to answer questions about what kinds of things Shakespeare liked (clothes, food, books, colours and so on) because he left no indication whatsoever about his personal feelings about anything. Sometimes people ask about how Shakespeare went about writing his plays, which are also difficult questions to answer. We can generally point out what books or plays he got his ideas from, but the process he used to make them into great plays was never recorded. Some people would like to know exciting and romantic things about Shakespeare's life. Unfortunately most of what we know about him suggests that his life was not really that exciting or romantic. He was a hard worker and a shrewd businessman, and pleasant to get along with.
Shakespeare did not make movies. Film technology did not exist in his time. There have been over a hundred movies made from his plays.
yes because it was his job. :D
No, alas. Although his plays have fairies, witches and ghosts, zombies do not make an appearance. It would have been awesome, however; if Star Wars can be rewritten in Shakespeare's style, maybe you can do the same for Night of the Living Dead?
Money: He was in the business of filling seats at the playhouse.
he doesnt use the language to make the play more exciting he uses because how they use to talk
Shakespeare and his partners were in business. In order to be able to keep paying for new plays, pay for the theatres they used, pay to keep costumes and props in repair, and most importantly, to pay the actors enough to live on, they needed money. The only way they could get money was to get people to buy tickets to their shows. A really popular play might bring in thousands of paying customers and make them a lot of money. That was why Shakespeare's plays had to be exciting, and include lots of ghosts, grisly deaths and swordfights, as well as dirty jokes, puns, and philosophy.

Shakespeare wrote his plays to make money. He was part owner of a theatre company and they made more money if they had new plays and good plays to put on. Shakespeare was able to provide the company with both.
By watching and liking his plays.
He was an actor so he wrote plays to act in, to make a living.
Shakespeare did not make movies. Film technology did not exist in his time. There have been over a hundred movies made from his plays.
To make money.
To make money, mostly. It was his job.
