Best Answer

The editors of Shakespeare's plays mostly arranged them into five acts following Ancient Greek patterns.

There is no reason to suppose that Shakespeare intended his plays to be performed as five separate acts (in fact, there is good reason to suppose he didn't). The five acts is just an editors' convention.

Why do Shakespeares's plays always have 5 acts?

Dividing plays into acts, specifically five acts, was a printing convention of the time. They thought they were imitating the divisions of classical plays. In fact, Shakespeare did not compose in acts. (There were no act breaks in the Elizabethan Theater.) Shakespeare actually wrote in Scenes, more along the a Master Scene film script today.
