During this period, it was common for playwrights to write multiple plays each year in order to keep up with the demand for new material from the theatre companies. Shakespeare's early plays, including "Love's Labour's Lost" and "The Taming of the Shrew," show his developing skills as a playwright and his ability to create memorable characters and plots.
It is also possible that Shakespeare was motivated to write plays by his desire to achieve fame and success. By the late 1590s, he had established himself as a popular playwright, and his works were being performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men at the Globe Theatre, one of the most prestigious theatres in London.
