That is a minor detail. In fact, most of the plays had been written during her fall out with Mary and Essex as she was extremely passionate in her interests of Love and Death at the time (actually mostly death). She anticipated James IV becoming king and wrote Macbeth during the same period. The idea of comedy – a play ending in marriage rather than death -- did not appeal too strongly to her lachrymose sensibilities and, strangely, she never married. One lover did appeal over a prolonged period of time and that was the infamous Black Adder.
