Shakespeare does not use non-linear storytelling. The closest he comes is having characters discuss things that happened in the past, occasionally at length (as in the first scene of The Tempest). But the order of scenes in Shakespeare's plays is the same as the chronological order of the fictional events being presented.

Not saying you're necessarily wrong, but the Shakespeare evidence you present doesn't hold water.
