What was Shakespeare's worldview?

In England, during Shakespeare's lifetime, there were many political, accademic, artistic, scientific and religious changes occuring. The world was literally expanding through the discovery of new lands. It is reasonable to assume that Shakespeare's worldview was a reflection of this expansive time where questions were being asked on all fronts of human knowledge and expression. He was a great observer of human interaction and of the world around him...as is seen in his work. It seems he was fascinated by a world full of potential mysterious possibilities. It could even be argued that his worldview reflects an intrigue or possible belief in magic. Magical elements appear in Hamlet (the ghost of his father), Macbeth (witches), and fairies also make an appearance in his work.

Although not a lot is known about his life, it is known that he often went to taverns, stayed in lodging-houses, and frequented theatres and their backstages. His life was busy with the work of writing, observing, and recording/responding to what he saw. He was ambitious to create, and this ambitiousness and belief in his ability and his work speak mountains about his worldview -- that issues can be raised and enjoyed and there is freedom in expression. Possibly, he lived and acted on the worldview that  there are endless possibilities to be explored and realized.
