By early 1592 Shakespeare had begun working as an actor. When the theaters were closed, because of plague during much of 1593 to 1594, Shakespeare used non-dramatic poetry only when the theater had forced closings. His first extant play was The Comedy of Errors (1590). His most famous works of literature were: Hamlet(1603) , Macbeth (April 1611), Romeo and Juliet,(1597) A Midsummer Night’s Dream, (January 1160) Othello,(1565), King Lear, (December 26, 1606) and the Tempest(1610–11). There is more extraordinary work from him, but these are the most important. His literary works were based on comedy, history, tragedy and poetry. The book that was most interesting to me is Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is about two young lovers. Their families were against their relationship, but they decided to stay together no matter what. At the end of the book they decided to commit suicide because of all problems they were facing between their families and the people that didn’t approve their love. This is one of my favorites poetry of him because it is an interesting story. It's about young people just like me.This book is not written in my own language. It's quite understandable and that’s what I liked
