Why did Shakespeare’s plays appeal to “groundlings, royals, and everyone in between? What elements assisted him in doing that?

The plays of William Shakespeare appealed to the Groundlings, Royals and everyone else because it was during the time of the Renaissance where creativity and new forms of art was brewing. People who watched Shakespeares plays could relate to them because they were based on the era that they lived in. Also alot of Shakespeare's plays mimicked Englands history and the lifestyle tht it had during the times of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The audience enjoyed the plays because it touched different aspects of their time such as monarchy, chivalry, and feudalism. The way people veiwed plays is similar to the way we view movies that depict historical events or even movies that take place in modern times.
Shakespeare had the elements of history and also current events to assist him in his play-writing. The renaissance was an interesting time period also and because of this, William had tons of inspiration and sources to come up with his stories. Almost all of Shakespeares plays take place during the times of the Renaissance or the Medieval times and this also gives some clues as to where all of his ideas came from. He must have thought that people would be alot more interested in things that they could relate to. That being the whole "chivalrous knights in shining armor/King and Queen" theme.
if we look at plays and movies now we see that many are about Shakespeares's plays and other historic events. There are many movies and plays now that are based on or set in the Renaissance or Medieval era. This means that for every generation of people, we find more interest in what took place in the past. We take more interest in the past because it was almost like the early stages or beginning of something. This one fact leaves our minds full of wonder and gave us the belief that during that time there were vast possibilities of things that could happen.
