CHAPTER II. The description of truth and issue in Shakespeare’s histories
2.1. Shakespeare’s plays
Love, marriage, death, grieving, remorse, the need to make tough decisions, breakup, reunion, and reconciliation are all depicted in Shakespeare's plays. They do it with a great deal of compassion, tolerance, and discernment. They assist us in comprehending what it means to be human and coping with the challenges that come with it. Shakespeare's plays are continually fresh and adaptable to the place and time they are performed since they were written to be acted. Their language is incredibly articulate and strong, and while it can be difficult to understand when read aloud, actors can bring it to life for us. Actors will find some of the most demanding and satisfying roles ever written in the plays. Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies are divided into the first Folio of 1623, the earliest edition of Shakespeare's collected plays. The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline, and Pericles are among the Romances that have been separated over time. Plays as seemingly different as Measure for Measure, Hamlet, All's Well That Ends Well, and Troilus and Cressida have all been referred to as "Problem Plays."
Shakespeare used the same character over and over again in his history stories. The character 'Bardolph', for example, appears in more plays than any other character, including Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor.
This is a list of William Shakespeare's plays in alphabetical order. Unless otherwise indicated, the dates following the titles indicate when the plays were written. Asterisks mark plays that are believed to have been written by Shakespeare and other playwrights, but the evidence for this has been contested. Shakespeare has often been credited with writing Edward III and Cardenio (Double Falsehood), however this attribution is not widely accepted. Also see the Shakespeare character list.

It is not known when Shakespeare began writing plays, but they were almost certainly being performed in London by 1592, and his final plays were most likely published only a few years before his death in 1616. He is thought to have written approximately 38 plays, including collaborations with other playwrights. Here's a list of Shakespeare's plays arranged by decade.
