Shakespeare's theatre can be divided into four phases: the initial phase characterized by the variety of representation models;  the second phase in which English society passes from the optimism of the reign of Elizabeth I to the insecurity of the throne of James I Stuart;  the third phase, or the period of his greatest works such as Hamlet and Othello and fourth phase, characterized by fantasy, is a phase in which characters appear in a disenchanted way.
