I wonder if Shakespeare suffered from depression. His view of life indicates he didn't think it was worth much. Example?

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage ,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound  and fury
Signifying nothing."

    Macbeth thought little of life, given that by that stage he was stark mad. Try reading some of the Bard's comedies.
