I'm working on a writing discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Shakespeare is known for reworking and vastly improving stock plots and characters such as the lover, the villain, the damsel, the fool in his comedies. Based on your understanding of Tolkien’s and other definitions of “story,”make an argument about the ways in which Shakespeare dips liberally into the “story soup,” yet still provides a funny, thoughtful, and smart story that is both visual and auditory. Since Shakespeare did not mean for his plays to be read, keep in mind the performance aspect as you write your post.
