##William Shakespeare
By 1600, the political scene was changing. The Earl of Essex was �
executed in 1601 and the public mood was one of disillusionment. �
From 1601 to 1603, Shakespeare wrote his greatest works, the four �
tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. Some of his �
friends thought that these plays were evidence of mental strain �
and exhaustion, but Shakespeare was prosperous, and he was free �
to explore his mind to its ultimate depths.
