Shakespeare had a talent for taking other people's plots and turning them into fantastic English. He was a genius.......he invented many words and expressions still in use today, and is universally accepted as one of the greatest writers in history.
He had a middle class upbringing, so his childhood education would have given him a good grounding in literature, language, history and religion - all of which he drew upon for his plays.

The term genius is just a title that reflects what one person believes another person possesses as intelligence. I don't think he was a genius, I think he was just a really good play write. The human mind is too complex, I would say that his interactions with people and places in his life influenced his works. Also, I think he had depression, which is a type of malady that affects the brain. Perhaps it was combination of these things that provoked him to write such heartfelt words.

I think that genius is pretty much something one is born with.
Many scholars are not even sure that the actor-producer known as Shakespeare actually wrote the plays. They suggest that he was a front man for someone who needed to protect his identity for political reasons.

Shakespeare wasn't a genuis. He was simply a creative mind who found an outlet for expressing himself.
