Me - Hello Mr. Shakespeare, the first question i would like to ask is what are the basic factors that made you who you are?

Me - Alright, my second question is what made you choose romance as a genre for most of your plays and poems?

Mr. Shakespeare - I didn't just use romance as my genre, I also formatted most of my plays on comedy, tragedies, and past histories I wrote ten plays with the genre history, they were all based on kings, or rulers. Comedy and romance were my 2 favourite genres and its great to see that everyone else enjoys them as well

When i was twelve my father's business started diving down from all of the lawsuits that my father faced.
