The real and true "Renaissance Man" is Shakespeare because he was an amazing play write that included everything the Renaissance period was about. Shakespeare included romance and drama in his plays. An example of romance, since the Renaissance period was known as the romantic period is a quote from the love play Romeo and Juliet, "The exchange for thou love's faithful vow for mine." (romeo speaking to juliet). Shakespeare also had action and excitement, just like Renaissance festival's would have. An example of excitement in his plays is when he had many fight scenes. An example of a fight scene is in Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo kills Tybalt. This is one of the most popular fight scene's in the history of Renaissance plays.
A final example of how Shakespeare was the "Renaissance Man", was how he used the language of the time period in his plays. Shakespeare would often talk in old English. This made his plays very accurate to the time period. Shakespeare was always accurate with his plays to the time period he was in and filled them with Renaissance culture. He was the perfect "Renaissance Man".
