Shakespear is good for many things tradgedy,drama,comedy, ect.
What is often missed is he is/was writing for the Tudor court of Elizabeth1.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare
I consider him a "spin doctor", he can't do positive history plays unless her realives get a postive ,smypathic view!
"Shakespeare was living in the reign of Elizabeth I, the last monarch of the house of Tudor, and his history plays are often regarded as Tudor propaganda because they show the dangers of civil war and celebrate the founders of the Tudor dynasty."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespearean_history

Another point with all the questions about authourship of Shakespear is ,He may have been Chatolic .
"members of Shakespeare's family were Catholics, at a time when Catholic practice was against the law.^[179] Shakespeare's mother, Mary Arden, certainly came from a pious Catholic family. The strongest evidence might be a Catholic statement of faith signed by John Shakespeare, found in 1757 in the rafters of his former house in Henley Street. The document is now lost, however, and scholars differ as to its authenticity.^[180] In 1591 the authorities reported that John Shakespeare had missed church "for fear of process for debt", a common Catholic excuse.^[181] In 1606 the name of William's daughter Susanna appears on a list of those who failed to attend Easter communion in Stratford.["
