Shakespeare could certainly write stories of romance. Romeo and Juliet is the classic romantic tragedy (although he also wrote Antony and Cleopatra), and Much Ado about Nothing is the classic romantic comedy (although all the comedies had a love story in them). Some of his late comedies are called Romances because they have fairy tale like plots. On the other hand, he also wrote plays with no love stories at all. And if the question refers to the point of view of the Romantic Movement of the early nineteenth century, no, Shakespeare's work does not reflect that perspective. Finally, we can only talk about Shakespeare's work; his own personality is shrouded in mystery.

∙ 12y agoNo. Shakespeare did not write novels, just plays and poetry. The novel was a new and experimental form in Shakespeare's day, and there wasn't much money in it. Shakespeare was a writer who made his living by writing and didn't have much time for literary frivolity.

How did William Shakespeare change peoples ideas?
He didn't, really. Some highly pretentious authors, like Harold Bloom, have claimed that he did, but what Bloom is claiming is that Shakespeare invented Victorian literary criticism, which is not only ridiculous but impossible. With Shakespeare, people take their own ideas to the plays and find them reflected there and articulated better than they could articulate them themselves. Shakespeare, in his own words, "holds the mirror up to nature" but he does not create nature. He did not create Harold Bloom's Victorian outlook on literature, but when Bloom looks at Shakespeare, he finds his outlook reflected back to him, and imagines that Shakespeare must have invented it.

Did willam shakespeare live in the vitorian times?
No. William Shakespeare lived from 1564 to 1616. Queen Victoria ruled from 1837 to 1901, and her reign is what could be called "Victorian times." Basically you are at least 220 years off. Shakespeare's death was as long ago when Queen Victoria came to the throne as Queen Victoria's coronation is now. It's like saying that Washington was the President of the US on September 11, 2001.
Is Hamlet of Shakespeare is the same with Charles Lamb?
No, for two reasons: 1. Shakespeare's Hamlet is a play, which means it has to be acted to be understood. Lamb's is a story, and can only be read, not acted. 2. Shakespeare's Hamlet is a play for adults, with a number of adult themes. It is so full of nuances that its possibilities have not been exhausted in 400 years. Lamb's story is a story for Victorian kiddies, with all of the complex issues and dirty stuff edited out.
