What was William Shakespeares turning point in his life?

The turning point in William Shakespeare's life was his move from Stratford-upon-Avon to London. It is believed that he arrived in London around 1587-1588, at the age of 23. This move was a crucial step in his career as a playwright and actor. In London, Shakespeare joined the theater company known as the Lord Chamberlain's Men (later known as the King's Men), which included actors such as Richard Burbage and Edward Alleyn. It was during this period that Shakespeare began writing plays, including some of his most famous works such as "Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet," and "Othello." Shakespeare's success as a playwright allowed him to become a shareholder in the theater company, which further enhanced his financial stability. His time in London shaped his career, established his reputation as a leading playwright, and paved the way for his lasting impact on the world of theater and literature.
