Where did William Shakespeare get his ideas for his plays?

he based them on real life incidents or exaggerating things that has happened in his life.

Shakespeare found nature an inspiration, and peoples' different reactions to love and life. While most stories in those days finished with a 'happily ever after,' Shakespeare realised that a total opposite could happen, so Shakespeare explored the many ways a romance story could end.
