I’d like to add a little-known fact about William Shakespeare that I think may interest you have posted here. He did not write his plays—the
Comedies, Tragedies and Histories with the hope of earning centuries of fame and popularity. He wrote them to make money. Period. Yes, he wrote them to entertain an audience, but that was HOW he made money. He wanted to cover the seats in his theater at Stratford-on-Avon with asses. He had an enormous poetic gift and also a gift for telling a story, like Stephen King and Steven Spielberg do in our era—but his goal was to make a buck. Like many of the artists named in this topic, he concentrated on commercial success and popularity. Shakespeare Is an example of a simple, powerful secret: take care of the audience, and the money and renown will take care of themselves.
